PRU is a comedy about a group of teens struggling to navigate adolescence in a pupil referral unit, a school for excluded kids. Told through the eyes of four charismatic but complex young people, for whom sometimes even the smallest of obstacles can feel like the end of the world.\n\nHalil, Hanna, Jaeden and Belle are four very different 15-year-olds who have one thing in common. They have all been permanently excluded from mainstream education and find themselves having to go through Year 10 together at their local PRU, a world seldom seen by the public. They struggle to adhere to even the most basic of expectations and wreak havoc on their teachers’ day. Why does laidback Jaeden never turn up for school? What has upset Belle so much that she’s kicking bins down the corridor? Why is Halil being excluded from the PRU, and what has he done to annoy Hanna so much that she wants to dash a chair in his face?\n\nAnd amidst all this chaos, will long-suffering behaviour manager Anthony ever get to eat his stew lamb and jollof rice?
