About Cornwall Education Learning Trust
- Type
- Multi-academy trust
As a Trust, we agree that a child needs to feel that they are wanted, loved and valued for exactly who they are, from the beginning. There is no replacement for that and if it’s not right at the start, everything that follows is playing catch up. After that, it is about nurturing the individual genius of each child. Every child is unique and has their own strengths, weaknesses, and passions. It doesn’t matter what these might be; what matters is focusing on what it is they love and giving them the space and time to explore those passions.
We cannot forget that the core business of schools is ensuring that children and young people are able to read, write and be numerate. We also know that whatever the world may look like in the future, there will be a need to instil universal human values. Values-based education empowers schools to emphasise the centrality of all people in society
and focuses on valuing self, others and the environment, underpinning their curriculum with universal positive human values such as respect, justice, equality, integrity, harmony, trust and honesty.
At CELT, we believe that nature is a gift we should try to give to each child so forming a relationship with nature early on is a very powerful thing. Our schools are all situated in unique locations. We want children to grow up
remembering their childhood as a happy, safe place where they connected with Cornwall’s beautiful natural environment.
Young people have their own voice - our role is to hear that voice and offer the space and opportunity for it to grow.
A CELT education gives each child a moral compass and self-leadership, it enables reflection and a code of personal ethics. Our pupils become the Captain of their own ship, which ultimately enables them to navigate their wonderful, individual journeys as custodians of our future.
