I am thrilled to share that we have openings for our exciting new alternative education program, commencing on Wednesday, 17 September, 2025.

​

Since the launch of CDC, we have frequently been asked about providing alternative provisions. Unfortunately, we lacked the capacity to do so. Now that we are in a stronger position, we are excited to offer this program to support students who are facing challenges in mainstream education.

​

Our alternative education program will be customised for each class, focusing on a curriculum rich in life skills with an outcome to improve the students ability in school. We provide a warm, safe and healthy environment at our CDC Cosy Hub (S40 2SW), complete with a secure garden.

​

The program will operate on Wednesdays during term time from 9 AM to 4 PM, with lunch and breakfast included. We have six spaces available for 11- to 16-year-olds each term, and every student will work towards earning a qualification.

​

We urge schools to reach out for more information and enrolling before we fill up! Please send all AE queries to youth@cdchesterfield.com

In line with our charitable objectives, we aim to keep our costs for schools as low as we can while still ensuring we can provide a healthy and skill rich curriculum.
