About Cumbria Education Trust

Type
Multi-academy trust

Cumbria Education Trust (CET) is a growing multi academy trust for primary and secondary schools in Cumbria. It was formed in September 2015 in response to an invitation from the Department for Education and is a not-for-profit charitable organisation.

In Cumbria Education Trust pupils and students are at the heart of all decision making – they always come first. We know that a first class education improves the life chances and choices of our young people and we are committed to providing a quality education for all, equipping them for the future.

Our aim is for each Cumbria Education Trust academy to demonstrate consistent year-on-year improvement. Collaboration is key to this; we believe in the importance of working with others to share knowledge and best practice.

By achieving our aim, we can enable every young person to reach their potential and achieve the success they deserve.
