PRU or Alternative Provision indicators

This article provides guidance for Pupil Referral Units (PRUs) and Alternative Provision (AP) schools on how to report specific indicators related to child mothers and teenage mothers for the Spring Census. It outlines the steps to add indicators for child mother provisions, teenage mother places, and childcare facilities, as well as ensuring the correct school phase is set.

Only PRU and AP schools need to add this information for the Spring Census:

• Child mother indicator - Whether a pupil referral unit or alternative provision has provision for child mothers.
• Teenage mother places - How many places for teenage mothers a pupil referral unit or alternative provision has.
• Childcare facilities indicator - Whether the pupil referral unit or alternative provision has childcare facilities.

Ensure your School Phase is set to the right phase in School > School Details. If this is not set correctly, you won't see the sections below.
