EVA is an Alternative Provision Academy providing education to students who are at risk of permanent exclusion or who have already been permanently excluded from mainstream education. Our provision caters for students in Key Stages 2, 3 and 4, at sites located in Ilkeston, Kirk Hallam, and Sawley. Whilst the majority of our students have been permanently excluded, we work closely with local school clusters and the local authority to provide education opportunities to young people who are at risk of exclusion. Such placements have been highly successful in preventing numerous permanent exclusions in Derbyshire. We are committed to working in partnership with young people, their parents and carers, their schools and other agencies to re-engage them and enable them to become successful learners and responsible citizens. Where students are able to demonstrate positive behaviour and a desire to achieve, we aim to help them transition back to mainstream school. For those who require a more alternative approach, we provide a balanced and varied curriculum, delivered through good quality teaching and learning. Whilst for many, an AP Academy may seem to be the end of one's academic career, we see it as merely a change in direction and an opportunity for students to thrive in a different environment.

For our penultimate #KinshipCareWeek story we are hearing from another grandparent of an Esteem student, this time at Esteem Valley Academy 💚 They share: “It is important that kinship is celebrated and more widely known as what you see in the media is not always true” #ThisIsKinshipCare
Relationships are at the core of everything we do at Esteem Valley Academy. Staff across our three sites coming together as one for weekly CPD has played a big part in building a positive culture and developing the concept of the ‘Esteem Valley Academy Family’. Another great session on phonics delivered by our Head of Primary, Grace Vivian and Assistant SENDCo, Becca Hale. #relationships #engagement #opportunity ‘A Culture of Success’
We’ve been a bit quiet on socials at the start of the academic year but it certainly hasn’t been quiet across our 3 sites and internal alternative provision offer! 24/25 let’s go 💪🏽 Esteem Valley Academy #relationships #engaegment #opportunity ‘A Culture of Success’

So incredibly proud of our Year 11 students this results day. They have worked so hard to achieve some amazing results but more importantly than their academic successes, they have become such vibrant and confident young people with exciting futures ahead of them. A powerful example of the positive impact alternative provisions have on those students where mainstream just hasn’t worked out. AP’s aren’t the end, they are a fresh start and provide young people with an opportunity to thrive. Esteem Valley Academy #relationships #engagement #oportunity ‘A Culure of Success’

Do you know who the teacher of the year is? We do 👇 Huge congratulations to Ben Taylor from Esteem Valley Academy who recently won Teacher of the Year at the Esteem Multi-Academy Trust Awards! A fantastic achievement! #Education #EdChat #SecondaryEducation #SchoolLeadership
And that’s a wrap for another academic year! In the past 18 months we’ve almost doubled our student numbers and staff team, introduced a range of new qualifications and launched our own in-house voactional offer. As we reflect on all our achievements, we are also excited at what the future holds, with a number of new projects around the corner. The challenges schools face are not slowing down but neither are we, as we endeavour to meet the needs of our growing school community. A massive thank you to everyone who has contributed to and supported our successes and development this year . . . See you in September! #relationships #engagement #opportunity ‘A Culture of Success’
A great night to celebrate achievements with colleagues across the Trust schools and nice to have one of our own recognised.
We had a fantastic evening of celebrations at the Esteem Annual Awards Gala Dinner last week and were so thrilled to announce our trust-wide winners! Congratulations to Ben, Matthew, Ted and Charlotte and to all the nominees from across our wonderful schools! 🏅 Thank you all for your hard work and exceptional dedication this year! A special thank you to our Governors, Trustees and Members. More to come on the Kevin Dean Rising Star award soon... 🌟 #staffappreciation #staffawards #emat
