PRU'V You Wrong
Five students from St Mary's Pupil Referral Unit in Redditch have produced a short, dynamic film aimed at explaining the reality of 'PRU' life. The students visited various units around the county interviewing staff and pupils to find out the facts about 'PRU's'...
What is a PRU?
Who goes to them?
How do they change people?
What are your thoughts on changing 'PRU's' to 'Short Stay Schools'?
The challenge was to present the role and the positive impact of PRU’s and create a contemporary, accessible resource for young people, their parents and carers, education professionals and the wider community. It is envisaged that new entrants to the PRU's will be able to watch the DVD along with their parents/carers and have a positive image of the PRU's and the opportunities they offer.
During the sessions the young people involved learnt many new skills such as interview techniques, film, photography, marketing and event management. The film was showcased on Friday 28th May at Palace Theatre, Redditch, the event was a huge success with an audience of over 50 the young people received the praise they deserved.
