The Canterbury Centre

The Canterbury Centre is a pupil referral unit (PRU) located in Salford, Greater Manchester, catering to students who require additional support outside the mainstream education system. With a current enrolment of five pupils and a capacity of 36, the centre is designed to provide tailored educational experiences for students facing challenges in traditional school settings.

The centre is part of a network of four PRUs in Salford, each serving different age groups and needs. The Canterbury Centre focuses on supporting students who may have been excluded from mainstream schools, ensuring they receive the necessary guidance and educational resources to succeed. The ethos of the centre revolves around inclusivity and personalised learning, aiming to reintegrate students into mainstream education when possible.

With a significant percentage of pupils eligible for free school meals (80%), the Canterbury Centre is committed to addressing the diverse needs of its student population. The unit works closely with families and local agencies to provide a supportive community environment, fostering both academic and personal development.
