School Curriculum
The Progress Schools curriculum is bespoke, diverse and lively and designed to inspire learning in small steps but most of all, its purposeful and entrenched in work towards further qualifications to support positive futures. We take the time to work with the whole student and identify any barriers towards success, this may be anxiety or additional needs. We work alongside local work placements and companies offering work experience so that students can try out their chosen career and work towards additional qualifications towards this.

Our students at PS Stockport nailed it! Working alongside Mark Taylor from @TechnicalSiteDistribution, our students built this incredible shelter for use for outside of lessons. Mark commented, "The pupils really showed enthusiasm, teamwork and some quite impressive skills. I think nearly all of the pupils engaged at some point or other." What an incredible achievement!

Students got involved in a careers fair held at @thehive_yz last month! A great way to learn about the different career paths available.

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
