Acorn is for pupils who are in-between the Oak and Elm curriculum who can display more challenging behaviours and have associated learning needs including ASD and ADHD. Then, lastly, Beech for pupils who are working towards college transition and have more complex social and emotional difficulties linked to past trauma and their diagnosis.

A message from the Headteacher

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Liverpool Progressive School. The school provides specialist education which supports the educational needs of boys and girls aged 8 – 19 with moderate to severe learning difficulties, complex needs and a range of associated social, emotional, interaction and sensory difficulties.

We are committed to each and every one of our pupils, providing specialist support tailored to each individual’s unique needs and helping all pupils to achieve their full potential. Young people often come to our school with negative perceptions of the education system, having experienced rejection, often repeatedly. We are dedicated to turning their experience of learning into a positive one.
