Summary

Tameside Pupil Referral Service (TPRS) is a pupil referral unit located in Dukinfield, Tameside, catering to students who are unable to access mainstream education due to Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. Established in 2011, TPRS serves pupils from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4 across two sites: Elmbridge School for Key Stage 2 and 3, and White Bridge College for Key Stage 4. The unit aims to provide a supportive environment where students can address their educational gaps and develop essential life skills.

The curriculum at TPRS is designed to be holistic, blending academic qualifications with practical skills such as communication, teamwork, and personal organisation. This approach is intended to prepare students for future success in education, employment, or training. The service also accommodates a small cohort of pupils with Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs) who require specialized support.

With a current enrolment of 160 pupils and a high percentage of students eligible for free school meals (71.9%), TPRS is committed to fostering resilience, self-awareness, and social skills among its learners, ensuring they are equipped to transition confidently to the next phase of their lives.
