About the School
Progress Schools Stockport provides bespoke spaces for learning in small groups on site with a large playground at the back of the school so that there is an emphasis on sports in PE as well as enrichment sessions. The focus of the team is to support students through to Year 11 and their next steps beyond this by working closely with social care, parents, and carers and to signpost the best route forwards. Through our extensive partner network, we give students the opportunity to work outside with agencies who provide an insight into various careers for students.
Statement of qualifications: Progress Schools offer a variety of qualifications to students. In academic year 2023/2024, all Year 11 students at Progress Schools – Stockport studied and were entered for GCSE Maths, English and Science.

School Curriculum
At Progress Schools, students primarily study Functional Skills in English, Mathematics, and ICT. A wide range of other qualifications are also studied. These include Science, PE, Careers, Internet Safety, well-being, mental health awareness, and many more.
We are an alternative education provider serving students who have either struggled to engage with, or been removed from, mainstream education. Our teachers operate on a Primary model, to reflect the size of our provision, teaching across a range of subjects and are supported by a centralised, prescribed curriculum that is written by subject experts.
We believe all pupils should have the right, and the opportunity to sit qualifications in line with their peers, that are expected nationally and will provide a stepping stone to their further and future education. We support pupils who have demonstrated that they need additional accreditation and qualifications to support their progression but will never remove an opportunity for pupils to sit the Y11 terminal exams.
