Marsh Green and Harlor House

Infinite Schools is one school operating across two sites. Both under one DfE-registered specialist independent school number delivering the same ambitious offer, the same values-led approach and the same relentless standards.

Marsh Green opened in May 2023, officially launched by the Mayor of Wigan, Councillor Marie Morgan, a proud milestone for our school and the borough. Harlor House extends that work into a second site, taking what works at Marsh Green and replicating it for young people who need a tight-knit Key Stage 3 & 4 community.

We exist for one reason, to give young people who have not thrived in traditional settings a genuine chance to belong, to learn and to thrive.

Academic Pathway

A full academic curriculum built around GCSEs in English Language and Literature, Mathematics Science, RS and options subjects. Pupils complete their core qualifications alongside the option of Functional Skills and AQA Unit Awards, the qualifications profile that opens the next door whether that is further education, apprenticeship, or employment. The curriculum is ambitious by design. We do not lower the standard for our pupils. We change the route to it.

Reading Across the Curriculum

Reading is woven through every subject and every part of our day. Our pupils typically arrive with significant gaps in reading and we close them deliberately through structured intervention, daily reading routines and a culture that treats reading as essential. Strong readers access stronger curricula. Strong curricula produce stronger outcomes. Reading is not a separate strand. It is the foundation everything else stands on.

Vocational Specialisms

Hands-on vocational learning in construction and hair and beauty, delivered at our Standish site and accessible to pupils across both Marsh Green and Harlor House. Pupils develop practical skills, workplace habits and the confidence that comes from making something real. Vocational learning is not an alternative to academic stretch. It is alongside it. Both matter.

Targeted Intervention

Literacy, numeracy and personal development interventions sit alongside the core curriculum. We identify gaps early through diagnostic assessment on entry and close them through structured, evidence-based support. Intervention is precise not generic. Every pupil’s plan reflects their starting point.

Therapeutic and Wellbeing Support

Embedded therapeutic and wellbeing provision within the school day, delivered by specialists who know our pupils. Wellbeing is not an add-on or a separate service. It is built into how we operate. Pupils develop emotional literacy, regulation strategies and self-awareness alongside their academic work because the two are inseparable.

Trauma-Informed and Relational Practice

A trauma-informed environment built on consistent pastoral care, mentoring and warm relationships. Staff know every pupil deeply,their starting points, their triggers, their strategies, their strengths. Pupils feel safe because they are known. The relational standard is the foundation of everything else.

Enrichment

A purposeful enrichment programme that widens horizons, builds character and exposes pupils to experiences beyond the classroom. Enrichment is not a reward for compliance. It is a deliberate part of the educational offer that develops confidence, cultural capital and personal growth.

Transition and Destinations

Strong working partnerships with local colleges, post-16 providers and employers. Personalised transition planning from the moment a pupil joins us. Our pupils leave Infinite Schools knowing where they are going and how to get there, and we stay engaged with them through the transition period.

Pastoral Care

Bespoke pastoral support shaped around the individual pupil. Family contact is consistent and meaningful. Our pupils’ parents and carers are partners in the work, not bystanders. Pastoral care holds the school together in the moments when learning alone wouldn’t be enough.

Our Environment

Tight-knit communities across both sites. Marsh Green and Harlor House each provide the structure pupils need and the flexibility they deserve. Both sites work for young people who haven’t thrived in traditional settings, for those returning from difficult times elsewhere and for those who simply learn better when they are genuinely known.

Our Standard

One school. Two sites. The same offer delivered to the same standard. Commissioners and families experience consistency wherever a pupil is placed.
