Aspire (Pupil Referral Unit and Alternative Provision)

Aspire (The Wycombe Grange, Blueprint and Chiltern Skills & Enterprise Centre) provide ‘outstanding’ alternative educational provision and support for secondary age students. Students attend full or part-time and are referred to us by schools and the Local Authority.

Our focus is to support young people, together with their families and schools, to reach beyond their potential and enable them to flourish by developing positive behaviours, attitudes and aspirations. Our core aims are:

• To provide an outstanding educational experience and opportunities that leads to success for all.
• To enable students to make the right choices and do the right thing by making positive changes in their behaviours and attitudes.
• To develop skills that will enable students to make a positive contribution to all aspects of society.

We are based across several sites in Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Chesham. The Chiltern Skills and Enterprise Centre, in Chesham, is a purpose-built centre with facilities for a wide range of 2 year vocational courses. The PRU offers full-time provision for students who have been permanently excluded from their mainstream schools, as well as part-time provision for students who are at risk of exclusion. Our curriculum offer is diverse, ranging from Maths to Glass Technology. Many of our subject offers are practical, and teaching here is a unique experience. We were rated Outstanding by OFSTED in July 2014.
