CELT academies have a shared belief that through learning together, we can ensure that every child achieves more.

There is no limit to what every child can achieve, and every child deserves the chance to fulfil their potential. We are committed to ensuring that each child, in each of our academies, in each of the communities we serve is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged.

Our approach is simple.
 
Pupil learning is at the centre of everything we do, and we are focused above all on making teaching in our academies as good as it can be.
 
How do we do this?
The key word in our mission statement is “together”. Our approach is less about hierarchy and more about partnership: we support our family of academies, building on collective strengths, resources and the very best innovative practice so that, together, we achieve rapid educational transformation.

We want to wake children up to the creativity that’s inside them; creating a thirst for knowledge and learning.
 
It has long been recognised that there is a pressing need to change educational paradigms. The world is changing. With the advance of the digital age, cultures are crossing over, boundaries are blurring, and ideas are interconnecting more than ever before.
