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.

As a leader, you'll play a pivotal role in securing a journey that surpasses the ordinary. 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.

Under the guidance of the Esteem MAT's Executive Headteacher and Head of School, you'll find a collaborative and supportive environment. While experience within a school setting is a plus, it's not essential – we're committed to developing expertise within our team. This position is not suitable for Early Career Teachers (ECTs).

Join us on this exciting adventure, and you'll benefit from a competitive package including the Local Authority Pension Scheme, access to the Westfield Health wellbeing service, and a comprehensive program of professional development. Make a difference in a place where learning knows no bounds. For further information, please contact Deb Dolman, School Business Manager, on 01283 247580 via email at ddolman@esteemsouthacademy.co.uk or visit our website at https://www.esteemmat.co.uk/vacancies/.

South Derbyshire Support Centre (SDSC) 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 the South Derbyshire Support Centre 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.
