About Chevin Academy CIC

Alternative provision in Derbyshire

Chevin Academy CIC was set up to support young people who have struggled in traditional education settings.

Many of the young people we work with have experienced

  • High levels of anxiety
  • Disrupted education
  • Difficulty coping in large environments
  • Previous placement breakdowns

We provide a calm, structured, and supportive environment where young people can feel safe, build trust, and begin to re-engage at their own pace.

Our approach focuses on

  • Relationships first
  • Low-pressure learning
  • Small, consistent groups
  • Real-life skills and independence

We are a Community Interest Company, which means our focus is always on achieving positive outcomes for young people and the wider community.
