Cranbury College is a Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) and Alternative Education Provision Academy supporting young people aged 5-18 in Reading. We successfully support a range of learners including children unable to attend school for medical reasons, for whom we provide tuition in hospital. In addition, we work with students recovering from the trauma of permanent exclusion / students who unintentionally exclude themselves from education, for whom we provide highly successful reintegration programmes. As a multi-site organisation, we provide:
* College Road Site: Primary provision
* Cranbury Road Site: Secondary Education and Alternative Provision
* Outreach Behaviour Support Team: Supporting students in various educational settings
* Medical Tuition: Assisting students unable to attend school due to medical needs
* Hospital Teaching Service: Based at Royal Berkshire Hospital to ensure continuity of education
