Hartlepool Pru

General information

Ethos

Students who attend The Hartlepool PRU are largely disaffected from the school curriculum and many have a history of underachievement, poor behaviour and erratic school attendance.

At Hartlepool PRU, we believe that all students have a right to receive an education which fits their individual needs and that the curriculum that we offer ensures that every student will have ongoing experience of success and achievement. We also believe that education needs to take into account the wider social and emotional needs of each student and recognise that unless such needs can be addressed, the students are unlikely to achieve fully the academic progress of which they are capable.

We aim to ensure that all students and their parents/carers are made to feel welcome. We take pride in the atmosphere and believe that students will achieve their best if treated firmly but fairly, feel valued and listened to and their needs are taken into account as fully as possible.
