National Year of Reading

Our Mission: 100% of CELT learners as readers by December 2026 This is our year. Our moment. Our chance to transform reading culture across all CELT schools. By December 2026, every single one of our 9,000 pupils will see themselves as a reader and read for pleasure. That’s not a hope - it’s our commitment as part of the Department for Education’s National Year of Reading 2026.

Hear from our colleagues

CELT

“When schools and families work together, children don’t just survive — they thrive. I want to help build those strong circles of support so every care-experienced child feels they belong and can reach their full potential.”

Angela Raymer - CELT Lead Designated Teacher for Care Experienced Children

Poltair School

"We don't just talk about our values, we lead by example and create a culture where every team member is inspired to live values day-to-day."

Richard Cardigan - Headteacher

CELT

"Whilst academic standards are so important, we teach character more than anything else. Shaping who our young people are becoming with confidence, with self-esteem and with a place in the world is so important."

Dan Morrow, Trust Leader

Centre of Excellence

"The team at CELT have been really helpful. It's been a very rewarding experience, I've learnt a lot. I'm looking forward to having full focus on the class, putting everything I've learnt into practice."

Josh, teacher training graduate

CELT

"Exceptional educational experience is a whole raft of measures we want to get right in terms of trips, visits, going to the theatre, playing sport and academic outcomes. That's who we want to be, and we truly believe that's about enhancing the life chances of all young people."

Rich Baker, Deputy Trust Lead
