Engaging Alternative Provision in the School Games: New activity in a familiar setting
Young people within a pupil referral unit (PRU) demonstrate their capacity to try an unfamiliar activity when presented within a familiar context
Background
Meadowbrook College comprises four alternative education providers (APs) in Oxfordshire that collectively offer varied support for young people of all ages with social and emotional needs. Located across Oxford, Banbury, Kidlington and Abingdon, it provides full and part-time education and support to over 150 aged 5-16 students who are excluded from, or are finding it difficult to fully access, their mainstream schools. Young people attending these settings have a high degree of emotional need and low self-esteem: the schools have no uniform and offer considerable opportunities for individual responsibility e.g. through cooking for their peers.
