At Creative Education Trust, we believe that education is about more than academic success—it's about preparing young people to lead confident, purposeful, and fulfilling lives. Our Personal Development Framework is the foundation of this belief, ensuring that every student—regardless of background—has the opportunity to thrive in school, in relationships, and in life.

Our approach to personal development is built around a clear framework of interdependent components that shape the character, resilience, and future readiness of every learner.

These components are not standalone—they are woven into every aspect of school life, from the classroom to co-curricular activities, assemblies, and leadership roles.

Personal development at Creative Education Trust is not an add-on—it’s a core entitlement. Our schools offer a rich programme of:

• Co-curricular clubs and activities that nurture passions and build confidence.
• Leadership opportunities that empower students to shape their school communities.
• Cross-trust events and competitions that foster collaboration and pride across our family of schools.
• Assemblies and tutor time that promote British values, reflection, and ethical citizenship.
• Responsive safeguarding education that prepares students to navigate real-world risks with confidence and integrity.

A Trust-Wide Commitment

Every member of staff plays a role in shaping students’ character, confidence, and outlook. Our Personal Development Framework is led by a dedicated team and informed by safeguarding intelligence, ensuring it is both strategically led and locally responsive.
