This is what our values look like in practice.

A warm welcome can make all the difference.

This image from The Hart School captures a simple but powerful moment as students returned for the new academic year, with Principal Ms Sandham taking the time to personally greet students at the school gate. It reflects the commitment seen across all our schools to ensuring every young person feels valued, supported and part of the school community from day one.

For our new students especially, it marks the beginning of a journey filled with new friendships, opportunities and experiences.

Congratulations to Year 11 students across Creative Education Trust receiving their GCSE results today.

This is your achievement. Your hard work, resilience and commitment have opened doors to exciting next steps in sixth form, college, apprenticeships, training and future careers.

Across our Trust, provisional outcomes show improvement in all headline measures for the second year running, but today is about more than numbers. It is about young people, their ambition, and the staff and families who have supported them along the way.

We are incredibly proud of you all.

🎓 Today is Results Day across Creative Education Trust

This morning, Year 13 students are opening envelopes, sharing results and discovering where their hard work will take them next.

Across our sixth forms, students are celebrating university places, apprenticeships, further training and employment opportunities in fields ranging from Medicine, engineering and law to architecture, nursing and the creative arts.

Every result represents years of commitment, supported by dedicated staff, families and friends.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026. Today is your day, and we are incredibly proud of you.

Now that all our students have finished for the summer, we would like to wish everyone taking a break a safe, relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

While many colleagues are beginning their well-earned break, a number of team members will continue working hard behind the scenes to prepare our academies for September. We are incredibly grateful for everything they are doing.

Enjoy the summer, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back in September.

🏁 They designed them. They built them. Then they raced them.

Students from eight Creative Education Trust schools joined more than 1,000 young people and 90 teams at the STEM On Track National Finals in June 2026.

After months of building, testing and refining their own karts, our students put their learning to the ultimate test on the track at Whilton Mill Go Karting and Outdoor activities. They combined science, technology, engineering and maths with teamwork, communication, precision and resilience.

The experience extended far beyond the racing. Students explored future careers, heard from industry leaders and got close to a real Formula 1 car, while our CEO, Nicole McCartney, joined an executive on stage to discuss the parallels between leading a multi-academy trust and a Formula 1 team.

From the classroom to the racetrack, this was STEM brought vividly to life and a powerful demonstration of what young people can achieve when ambition meets opportunity.

Proud to see students at The Milton Keynes Academy leading the conversation on sustainability while showcasing the positive impact of renewable energy investment across Creative Education Trust schools. 🌍☀️♻️

We were delighted to welcome the Secretary of State for Education, Bridget Phillipson MP, to The Milton Keynes Academy today, alongside local MP Emily Darlington - Emily4MK and partners from the Department for Education, Barker Associates, Ashden and Let's Go Zero.

During the visit, the Secretary of State met with students from our sustainability group to discuss climate action and the role young people can play in creating a greener future. She also toured the academy's solar panel installation, which is helping to reduce carbon emissions, improve energy efficiency and support our long-term sustainability ambitions.

Our students spoke passionately about environmental issues and shared how sustainability is helping to shape learning and life at the academy.

As one of the schools already benefiting from a previous Department for Education solar programme, we were proud to showcase how investment in sustainable infrastructure is delivering benefits for both our students and our wider community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the visit.

Leading for Change starts by listening.

Our National Conference 2026 is underway. The conference opened with a special address from our CEO of 2056, played by Year 8 student Luca from Abbeyfield School. By imagining the future through the eyes of a leader 30 years from now, Luca encouraged us to think differently about the decisions we make today. What kind of education system are we building? What opportunities are we creating? What barriers are we removing?

One of the most powerful moments from Day 1 came from the students of Thistley Hough Academy, who reminded us exactly why we do what we do. Their reflections, ambitions and experiences grounded every conversation in what matters most: improving outcomes and opportunities for young people.

Together, these contributions reinforced a simple truth: meaningful change starts when we listen to young people and have the courage to think beyond the immediate challenges in front of us.
