About the School
Progress Schools Wigan is an Alternative Provision school situated within the Wigan Youth Zone in an enclosed wing, offering our students privacy while learning. Our class sizes are small which allows us to offer the highest-quality and bespoke teaching that supports each of our students to achieve. Each class is supported by a Teacher and a Student Engagement Mentor. We support shorter- and longer-term placements with a focus on rehabilitation into secondary school, with short respite breaks designed to support educational engagement.

Our students observed #RemembranceDay this year by taking the time to create poems and decorate poppies, honouring those loved and lost. One of our teachers at PS Lilford performed The Last Post before all joining in a minute's silence. #lestweforget
#ThrowbackThursday to Halloween! It's great to see our students getting involved in the spooktivities. The perfect blend of learning and fun. #Halloween #ProgressSchools #Education

Time travelling through 250 years of innovation!💡 Students recently visited the @scienceandindustrymuseum in Manchester. They had a great time exploring the many ideas that have shaped our world, from the Industrial revolution to modern day.

Your @cubbiesensoryhub experience begins here! Since introducing this sensory regulation space to #ProgressSchools Lilford, Wigan, our students have been able to immerse themselves into a personalised, disruption free environment. Students are in full control, setting the tone of their experience from calming to energised, selecting the music and scenery that calls to them, with the choice of 5 to 15 minutes of relaxation. A great way to reduce stress during the school day. #AlternativeProvision #nationalstressawarenessday
