The quest was a success! 🗺️✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Taking on the Quest: Unlocking Creative Careers at SUMMIT’s Up 2026.

Together, we shared ideas, uncovered new possibilities and explored how we can help unlock creative opportunities for the next generation.

Here are just some of the highlights from our adventure!

Until our next quest… 🗝️

Are you ready to help unlock creative opportunities for the next generation? 🗝️✨

Join us for an interactive journey through creative careers, work experience and the different ways arts and cultural organisations can support young people’s futures.

Through playful discussion, shared learning and collaborative problem-solving, we’ll explore the “magic keys” that helped creative professionals begin their careers—and how we can offer those same opportunities to the next generation.

You’ll leave with fresh ideas, practical actions, valuable connections and your own “Magic Key” to help open doors for future creative talent.

Whether you’re already championing careers activity or are just beginning to explore what your organisation could offer, this quest is for you.

Costumes optional. Curiosity is essential. 🧙‍♀️🗺️

🎓 GCSE RESULTS DAY 🎓

Congratulations to all students getting their GCSE results today!

We hope you're happy and proud of the results you have achieved!

However, if they aren't quite what you hoped or planned for, just remember that they are the story of a few exams and not the story of your future. Keep going! Some of the most successful people reached their goals by taking a different path
than they originally planned.

Be proud of your hard work, enjoy today and be excited for your next chapter!
