PROGRESS certificate

The PROGRESS Programme gathers high-quality data on the school’s emotional environment; uses the data to engage all staff, students and parents in an ongoing conversation about how to improve the environment; generates effective strategies for improving attendance and behaviour, raising achievement and promoting healthier learning environments.

There are five stages to the PROGRESS Programme:

Stage 1 - Familiarise and Identify
We use the Environment for Learning Survey (ELS) to look at the quality of relationships across the school community and then to initiate conversations about how these relationships impact on learning and wellbeing.

Stage 2 - Understand and Interpret
We design a tailored online survey from our initial findings that gives us the information we need to build a rich picture of the school’s dynamics. The online survey results reflect the experience of all staff and students.

Stage 3 - Create and Develop
We draw out the staff and students’ creativity in order to generate ideas for making learning and wellbeing even better. We then evolve these ideas into a coherent strategy that has buy-in from across the school.

Stage 4 - Implement and Integrate
We facilitate the conversations and training needed to ensure the strategy can be implemented successfully, is sustainable and will build through time.

Stage 5 - Review and Reappraise
Periodically, we run a fresh survey – combining the original Survey with further tailored questions – to monitor implementation of the strategy and refine it.


There are three packages:

1. Delegated 2. Partnered 3. Solo
We do all the work for you. We do all the analytical and design work; you do the work with staff and students. You use our IT infrastructure to carry out the programme on your own.
