Title

Pupil Referral Units - Wales

Author

ELLS1, Welsh Assembly Government

Notes

Section 19 (1) of the Education Act 1996 requires LEAs to make arrangements for the provision of suitable education at schools or otherwise for children of compulsory school age who, for whatever reason of illness, exclusion from school or otherwise, may not for any period receive suitable education unless suitable arrangements are made for them. Section 19 (2) states that any school established to provide education for such children and which is not a county [community] or special school shall be known as a 'pupil referral unit'. Prior to 2010 the data was collected on the Stats1 form. As of January 2010, information for pupils in PRUs and educated other than at school is collected via the EOTAS (Educated Other Than At School) PLASC.

At January each year.
