Amoree and Aliyah, both 15, are two of the newest students, joining just before the end of the summer term."I've been to three mainstream schools and this is the only school I've enjoyed," Amoree said.Knowing that we've got something to work towards and to motivate us will make us think more before we do thingsShe said there were now fewer pupils and "you can relax more and get the help that you need from that teacher".
Head Fiona Simpson said many of the ideas people have about PRUs are outdated and it has not been helped by young people who go there being portrayed "in quite a poor light" in TV programmes. "I think it's quite nice for them to feel relaxed during the day… because they can be young people, not trying to be adults or taking on extra responsibilities or carers or you name all the things that our young people have to go through."
Amelia, 15, found mainstream school "too overwhelming - too many lights, too many sounds, too much going on".She would like to get good GCSEs, go on to A-levels and pursue a career in musical theatre. Cardiff has seen demand for specialist places increase since before the pandemic. From September, it will provide 90 extra PRU places for the under 14s. Coming under Bryn y Deryn, the extra learners aged 11 to 14, will be accommodated on a separate site
