I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Staff and School's Members Committee to welcome you to our School. Golden Hill (Short Stay) School is a Primary Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) based in Leyland.
The School is commissioned by Lancashire Education Authority to provide full time education for primary education for pupils from Reception to Year 6 (4 to 11 years old) who have been permanently excluded from District 6 (Preston), District 7 (South Ribble), District 8 (Skelmersdale), District 9 (Chorley), District 11 (Hyndburn and Ribble Valley). 272 primary schools in total.
The School currently has places for up to 50 pupils. However the number of pupils attending Golden Hill may fluctuate throughout the school year and the school population itself is transient. In addition, subject to availability, Golden Hill offers 12 week placements for pupils in our schools districts who are at risk of permanent exclusion.
These Pupil Referral placements are accessed by our termly Referral Pupil Admission Panel Meeting.
