Why Creative Education Trust?
Creative Education Trust inspires and enables young people to build successful lives on foundations of learning, resilience, and employability. We believe that a rewarding educational experience and the highest possible qualifications are the best way to ensure social mobility for young people.
Creative Education Trust is a successful multi-academy trust educating over 14,500 children in England. It was established in 2010 to work in England’s post-industrial cities and coastal towns: areas of economic disadvantage and with a history of academic underachievement. We transform these schools by integrating a knowledge-rich curriculum with skills and creativity.
Creative Education Trust defines creativity as the ability to find connections between the things we know and turn these connections into new ideas and action. The academic arts and the sciences, practical subjects and life skills all need this creativity, and creativity is valued highly by employers. Our staff and expert advisers use imaginative methods for linking knowledge across subject boundaries, fostering personal development and resilience and developing practical skills that prepare students for their transition to adult life and employment.
Creative Education Trust also offers our colleagues exceptional trust-wide and external learning and development opportunities. We provide comprehensive teacher training, internships, and apprenticeships for both new joiners and existing colleagues. Our commitment to professional growth ensures that our staff are well-equipped to inspire and educate the next generation. To find out more please visit the individual pages:
