Progress Arc is an independently registered, alternative education provider of secondary education. We provide a high-quality, supportive, and inspirational educational provision to students with additional needs, ensuring that our support wraps around their individual needs.
Our bespoke approach ensures positive progression either back into mainstream education, or into the world of further education, work-based learning, or employment when leaving us in Year 11. Progress Arc is part of The Progress Group, a group of education and training specialists.
At Progress Arc we are committed to giving each student extra support and attention to help them succeed. There is no one size fits all approach, we take the time to get to know our young people, understand their challenges and support their aspirations to prepare them for the future.
Our amazing staff supply a range of innovative teaching methods to cater for the needs of our students. In addition to the formal studies, all students have access to breakfast clubs, are provided lunch and have scheduled weekly one to one time with mentors.
