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.
