Welcome to Chevin Academy CIC
Education Otherwise Than At School (EOTAS) for Young People in Derbyshire
At Chevin Academy CIC, we believe every young person deserves a second chance at education and a future filled with opportunity.
We specialise in providing trauma-informed, vocational education for young people aged 16–25 who face barriers to mainstream learning due to anxiety, emotional dysregulation, trauma, or SEND needs.
What we offer
Chevin Academy aim to offer you a flexible, bespoke approach to your learning, Education, Health and Care Plan outcome achievement and transition. We will support you to rebuild your confidence, developing practical and employability skills to prepare you for your future.
Transition and Employability will form key aspects of your learning as these are important for your next steps.
Chevin Academy will work with you, your circle of support (parents, carers, other professionals) and the local authority who holds your EHCP to agree how what we can offer can be part of your Education other than in Schools or Colleges (EOTIS/C) package.
This can include:
- Functional skills qualifications

delivered through a Preparation for Adulthood curriculum focus where you will develop your skills in employability, independence, friends, relationships, community and managing your health.
