Setting no limits on what we can achieve Welcome to Surrey Teaching Centre and thank you for visiting our website. We are a medical pupil referral unit (PRU) providing education for children and young people admitted to The Children's Trust for rehabilitation programmes following an acquired brain injury (ABI).
Some of our pupils may have special educational needs resulting from a degenerative syndrome or condition. We know that the children and young people who come to us are facing enormous difficulties and that they, their families and their carers need support and understanding.
