Please provide me with a copy of the following:
The total capacity of Pupil Referral Units in Devon at the date of the May 2023 census and the date of the January 2023 census. For the same dates could you stipulate the total number of pupil enrolments in Pupil Referral Units within your council including both single registered and dual registered pupils. This should give me two numbers for each date: first the capacity number (e.g. 100) and second the actual number of enrolments (e.g. 80).
Because of the nature of single and dual registered pupils, if possible could you include a third number for each date – the number of full-time equivalents on-roll. If your PRU does outreach into schools, could you also include this number and add it to the number of full-time equivalents enrolled with the PRU.
Please see figures below for numbers on roll by registration status at the two census dates;
January 2023 census
School Phase | Single | Dual | Total |
Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) | 135 | 171 | 306 |
May 2023 census
School Phase | Single | Dual | Total |
Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) | 140 | 164 | 304 |
Whilst the spring census captures unit contact time, the Department of Education do not publish Full Time Education numbers for PRU so there is no methodology to arrive at this figure.
