The Programmes Team works in collaboration with teachers, professional experts and the Education Team on the development and delivery of Creative Education Trust’s creative curriculum, Knowledge Connected. This unique aspect of education in our schools helps Creative Education Trust students to acquire the knowledge and develop the intellectual resourcefulness and resilience of character to meet the challenges of 21st-century life and work.

As part of the offer to students of Creative Education, the Programmes Team devises, plans and runs the ambitious calendar of cross-trust academic, artistic and horizon-broadening co-curricular activities and events. This ever-growing programme is an important and well-loved part of the educational experience of Creative Education Trust students, helping them to discover what they enjoy and what they’re good at.

The Programmes Team also provides Trust-level support on careers and employability across our schools and convenes the Creative Education Trust Alumni Network. By involving members of the network in cross-Trust student-facing activities, our alumni are helping pupils connect their learning with life beyond school.
