Equipping Teachers in Mainstream, PRUs, and Alternative Provisions to Foster Purpose and Safer School Environments.
This webinar, presented by Life Lessons in partnership with the London VRU, offers practical, evidence-based strategies for secondary school teachers across mainstream, pupil referral units (PRUs), and alternative provisions to address violence, improve student behaviour, and cultivate a sense of purpose. Learn how to effectively support all young people, particularly those at risk of exclusion, in exploring positive alternative pathways.
Gain insights into equipping and upskilling staff to confidently manage interventions and help students raise their aspirations. Hear firsthand from 23-year-old J Grange, who will share his experiences of school exclusion and his journey towards positive change. Additionally, Astrid Schon, Headteacher of London East Alternative Provision, will discuss their school’s involvement with Life Lessons and the VRU, highlighting the practical impact of these resources.
This session will explore key themes including redefining success for diverse learners, promoting positive self-expression, empowering students to take control of their narratives, and developing effective strategies for navigating challenges.
