My step GD who I posted about some 2 years ago when she was very troubled and we were despairing over getting some help has spent the last 2 years in a PRU.
She got her GCSE results this morning? 9 passes a to c
Including 2 A* three As and the lowest a C in maths which she knew was her weakest point.
We are so grateful for the help she eventually got and yah boo sucks to the bullies and the staff at her previous school.

I am still the same OP with a name change as I got locked out and am delighted to say that A is in the last stage of a PhD in Marine Biology.
She was recently granted a six month extension due to a serious illness last year.
She achieved a 1st in her degree course and has worked tirelessly for the last several years.
She is a very serious girl and is devoted to conservation particularly of the waters around Great Britain.

I know the feeling.
My granddaughter was expelled from her last high school.
Fortunately the deputy head knew she had a good brain so spoke for her at one of the top schools in Essex.
She was on 3 months probation and then accepted.
Three years on she is now a prefect.

So good to hear Annsixty. One size doesn't fit all and PRU'S can be brilliant in bringing the best out of kids when they need it. I used to refer kids there from my secondary school. Sadly not enough spaces in PRU'S so many who could be helped don't get a chance. But there's something special about your GD to accept the support she was given..and she shined. Lovely to hear.
