About

Foundry College was created in September 2011 from an amalgamation of Local Authority services.

We are a Pupil Referral Unit (PRU), based in Wokingham and we fulfil the Local Authority's statutory requirement to provide education and support to pupils who have been permanently excluded or are at risk of permanent exclusion, as well as those with medical needs who cannot attend school regularly.

In addition to a full-time education provision at its premises, Foundry also provides a range of outreach services to support pupils from Wokingham's mainstream schools who have social, emotional and mental health issues, poor attendance and those benefiting from alternative provision.

We have a unique ethos and provide a safe, respectful learning environment for the wide range of pupils in our care, enabling them to thrive. We recognise that some children require a period of stability, allowing them to acquire skills for learning and self-regulation strategies.
