Progress Arc

Based in Billinge, St Helens, Progress Arc is an alternative education school that provides a highly personalised learning environment for young people with additional needs. Our holistic support supports Key Stage 4 and 5 students (Key Stage 5 via our post 16, Progress Futures provision) by wrapping around a child’s individual profile to support their success and attainment. In addition to our teaching and non-teaching support colleagues, we have Occupational Therapists and Alternative Therapists based on site, ensuring our students get the support and care they need alongside their educational provision.

Everyone’s journey is unique, and our team of highly trained colleagues help to nurture every one of our students.

Progress Arc (formally known as Nugent House School) was taken over by The Progress Group in September 2025.
