Progress Arc Billinge School
Wigan, St Helens, North West · WN5 7TT
Progress Arc Billinge School is a small independent school near Wigan, with around 45 pupils on roll and boarding provision available. Led by Ms Gemma Dixon and inspected by the ISI, it has no religious character and admits boys and girls from age 11. Its intimate size means classes are likely to be small and individual attention high, which can suit pupils who thrive in a close, personal setting rather than a large institution. Families considering it should look closely at the published attainment figures, which sit well below national averages, and ask how the school supports each pupil's particular needs.

Teaching & academics
The reported headline results are markedly below national benchmarks: an Attainment 8 score of 0.6 against a national average of 46.9, with 0% of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths compared with 47% nationally. With such a small cohort, these figures can reflect a highly specific intake rather than typical mainstream performance, so prospective families would do well to understand the school's profile and how it measures progress for the pupils it serves.

The last word
A very small independent with boarding, best understood through a direct conversation about how it tailors its provision rather than through its headline league-table figures.
