Monmouthshire Pupil Referral Service (PRS)

Monmouthshire PRS is a responsive, portfolio provision with bases in the North and South of the county.  The PRS provides education for children and young people experiencing social, emotional and mental health needs, including those who, by reason of illness, exclusion or otherwise, may not receive such education in a mainstream school.   

Monmouthshire Pupil Referral Service (PRS) offer a variety of high quality teaching and learning, and holistic person-centred support to empower learners to be ambitious capable learners; enterprising, creative contributors, healthy confident individuals, and ethical, informed citizens.

The Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) element of the service provides a statutory, rapid response often at short notice for those pupils who have been permanently excluded from their school.  It also provides intervention and support for pupils who are at risk of being excluded through nurturing and strengthening the emotional wellbeing and social skills of learners.

The PRS also provide EOTAS Medical provision for pupils who are too ill to currently attend school.

The PRS offers an engaging curriculum that focuses on developing learners as effective contributors to society. As well as core subjects, learners also have the opportunity to participate in vocational studies, and are supported in enhancing their social, emotional and wellbeing needs. 

The PRS is intended as a short term provision with a focus on supporting the reintegration of learners back into mainstream provision where safe and appropriate.  The PRS has undergone a review, and recent changes reflect the ongoing improvement to the service and include moving into two newly refurbished sites in Chepstow and Abergavenny.
