School Description

Progress School transforms the lives of its pupils. Many pupils who attend the school have missed significant periods of their education in the past. They benefit from the high level of care that they receive from staff. Pupils begin to flourish as soon as they join the school as a result of the personalised transition programme that staff put in place for them. Pupils, all of whom have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve remarkably well. Staff use the deep understanding that they have of each pupil’s additional needs to provide them with a tailored curriculum. Pupils respond superbly to the extremely high aspirations that the school has for their achievement. They take pride in living up to the expectations that the school has of their behaviour and conduct. Pupils are very happy here. The school ensures that pupils access a wealth of experiences to develop their talents and interests, for example pottery, sports and gardening. A wide range of trips enhance pupils’ understanding of the subjects that they study, for instance visits to the beach, the local stables and the fire station. Pupils become confident and resilient young people. Pupils make a positive contribution to the community. They gain work experience at a local café and develop their business skills through an enterprise project. Pupils are exceptionally well prepared for adulthood.

Progress School Catchment Area Map

This school is independently managed and its admission criteria may be selective. There is no set catchment area as pupils are admitted from a wide variety of postcodes and, in the case of boarding schools, from outside the UK. Contact the school directly or visit their website for more information on Admissions Policy and Procedures.
