Esteem South Academy: Raising the B.A.R.
Esteem South Academy is more than just a school; it's an extraordinary journey of learning and growth. We are a vibrant Alternative Provision Academy within the Esteem Multi Academy Trust, situated in the heart of South Derbyshire.
We don't just deliver education; we create rich and engaging experiences that empower our students to thrive. Right now, we're searching for a DSL to ensure our students are able to reach their potential.
This is your chance to make a lasting impact on the lives of our learners, fostering a safe, supportive and successful environment.

You'll have the opportunity to shape our practices that will allow our students to reach their full potential. Our brilliant students have an insatiable curiosity, matched only by their boundless energy and independent spirit. They deserve an exceptional leader who can navigate their challenges, nurture their talents, and guide them on their journey to academic greatness.

It is with great pride that I welcome you and thank you for your interest in our Academies.
There is something very special about Esteem South Academy Centre and Fountains High School and we are incredibly proud of our unique students, supportive parents, inspirational staff and forward-thinking governors, where we all work together to make our environment a safe, happy and fun place to learn and prepare for adulthood.
Esteem South Academy (ESA) is an Alternative Provision Academy based in Newhall, South Derbyshire, providing education for pupils who are at risk of permanent exclusion, or who have been permanently excluded from mainstream schools. There are 26 students on role with a third having Educational Health Care Plans and the remainder having a variety of special education needs. We also work with local primary and secondary schools to offer short term placements as a prevention to permanent exclusion.
The vision for Esteem South Academy is to create a first class, holistic educational establishment that re-engages vulnerable children back in to learning. We wholeheartedly believe that the most vulnerable young people in our community deserve to have the same high standards of education as their peers. Our aim is to equip every child with the necessary knowledge and skills to enable successful integration back into mainstream education or for our Key Stage 4 pupils, to successfully transition into education, training or employment.
We are proud to provide an environment that enables all students to have the knowledge, skills and aptitude that provide the capacity to make informed choices, create opportunities and be responsive to changes. We ensure students develop and increase their self-belief, self-awareness and the ability to build strong lasting relationships.
We provide students with the appropriate amount of challenge to support them to be able to interpret, interact and be included in the world. They are always encouraged to seek out opportunities for kindness and happiness for others and themselves. Our students become resilient in the face of adversity, willing to accept the challenge and persist in all endeavours they encounter, fostering, exhibiting and conveying GRIT.
Take some time to have a look around our website or better still, arrange a visit to see us in person.
