Creative Education Trust is a growing multi-academy trust educating over 13,000 children in England.

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 PE, 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.
