Summary

Esteem South Academy is an alternative provision school located in Swadlincote, Derbyshire, catering to students who have been, or are at risk of being, excluded from mainstream education. With a current enrolment of 16 pupils and a capacity of 26, the academy focuses on providing a supportive and effective educational environment aimed at reintegrating vulnerable children back into learning.

The academy serves students across all Key Stages up to KS4 and is commissioned by Derbyshire Local Authority to educate pupils from day six following a permanent exclusion.

The academy aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary for their future, whether that involves returning to mainstream education or pursuing further training and employment opportunities.
