Progress Schools

As a nationally-based, alternative education provider with 13 independently registered secondary schools located throughout England, we know our stuff when it comes to Alternative Education (AP). We are proud to work with young people aged between 11-16 to help them to achieve their potential, with the specific aim of helping them to progress into a positive destination post-16 and ultimately become economically and socially active.

There is no one size fits all approach at Progress Schools. We take the time to get to know our young people, understand their challenges and support their aspirations.

Please see all of our ‘Covid-19 Guidance’ for students and parents here. To access our remote learning platforms please click here.

“I am so happy I came to Progress Schools. It’s really different to school, you get more time to spend with teachers and it’s good to be in smaller groups because you get to know everyone in the school, not just your class.”
