Alternative & Careers Education“Hello and welcome to Progress Education. I have
the privilege of heading up two incredible organisations – Progress Schools and
Progress Careers – who work in very different ways, but with the very same
objective and under one umbrella – Progress Education. At Progress Schools, we
currently have thirteen independent secondary schools, located throughout
England, who support local authorities and mainstream schools to work with young
people who require an alternative approach to their education. Many students
have diagnosed/undiagnosed SEND/SEMH and have likely experienced the trauma of a
permanent exclusion from at least one mainstream school. Through our incredible
workforce of teachers, engagement mentors, welfare officers and alike, we ensure
a truly rounded curriculum that is delivered in a nurturing and supportive way,
enable us to identify the potential and ambitions of our young people and work
with them to support them to access those opportunities when they leave us at
the end of year 11. In 2019, The Timpson Review of School Exclusions identified
that more than half of young people who access alternative provision (AP) or PRU
(Pupil Referral Unit) type settings become NEET (not in education, employment or
training) when they leave school. Every year since our inception in 2016, we
have supported more than 80% of our students progress into a positive
destination when they leave us after year 11. This has also supported us to
achieve consecutive ‘good’ judgements in every one of our Ofsted inspections. At
Progress Careers (formerly CareersInc), we currently work with more than 60
secondary schools and academies, including multi academy trusts, to provide an
exception careers guidance service. Our team of Level 6 and Level 7 qualified
independent careers advisers, work with the students across each of these
schools to provide that personalised guidance that they require to enable them
to make the choices that recognise their potential and raise their ambitions. We
work with schools and academies to support the full integration of Careers
Education Information Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) throughout their curriculum,
enabling a whole school approach to be implemented. Across both organisations,
under the one umbrella of Progress Education, our mission remains the same – we
raise the ambitions and aspirations of our young people supporting them to
achieve their full potential.”
