Overview

Esteem South Academy is an Alternative Provision Academy based in South Derbyshire, providing education for pupils who are at risk of permanent exclusion, or who have been permanently excluded from mainstream schools.

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 reengages vulnerable children back into 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.

Impact

We asked Jolene the following questions:

Does SchooliP reduce teacher workload?
SchooliP reduces SLT workload, particularly in relation to performance management.

Does SchooliP improve teacher well-being?
In addition to this it allows staff to access feedback at a time and place that suits them and provides them with a secure place to plan and develop their own career progression through CPD tracking and individualised targets.

How has SchooliP improved your school’s processes?
School processes are simpler and quicker to implement with this system, reducing the time SLT spend on performance management particularly.
