Our Values

Kindness

We will understand and value differences, allowing others to express themselves in order to work together towards common goals, making our community stronger.
Courage

We will empower one another to make moral and informed decisions, especially when it is difficult. We are confident to be accountable for choices we make, choosing the way we respond to lifeÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s events, rather than simply just reacting.
Resilience

We will provide opportunities and experiences with appropriate challenge that support the growth and development of each other, enabling us to add meaningful value to ours and others' lives.

Our Provisions

Welcome from the Headteacher

Across Newham PRUs we continually strive to enable our students to be successful in gaining the knowledge, skills and self awareness which will allow them to aspire towards and prepare for their futures.

Newham PRUs provide a safe and supported learning environment, motivating and inspiring students to access a broad, relevant curriculum which leads to many of our KS4 students achieving outstanding results in GCSE and other vocational qualifications. Students are encouraged to reflect, understand their personal challenges and when they are ready, to take the reins and apply their skills, knowledge and reflection to create their own successful futures.

School Council Initiative

Our Student Council, made up of KS3 and 4 pupils at Tunmarsh and New Directions, have been busy putting our school values into action! This half-term, they focused on transforming our school lunches—a project that perfectly highlights our commitment to Resilience and Courage.

Resilience in Action: Instead of just complaining, students used critical thinking to diagnose problems and advocate for change.
Developing Agency: They took the lead in professional meetings with Juniper Catering, learning that leadership means speaking up for your community.
Courageous Communication: To wrap up their hard work, the team delivered a brilliant assembly to share their "wins" and learnings with the entire school.

Talented Artists

In this GCSE unit, Denis (Y10) explored the human face through an experimental lens. His work prioritises the interplay of colour and dynamic mark-making to build texture and depth within his portraits.

Letter from Lewis Hamilton

Newham PRUs are working with Lewis Hamilton's MISSION 44 charity. He founded this charity following his first-hand experience of growing up in an education system that he believed worked against him, and has left him determined to build a fairer, more inclusive future in which every young person can thrive. (https://mission44.org/) .

As part of our continuing work with MISSION44, Lewis Hamilton visited Tunmarsh School meeting with students, their parents and our staff. He shared with us his experiences of being permanently excluded and how he wants to continue to work with students and families who are having the same experience.
