Our Mission
The mainstream education system in the UK is under immense pressure and facing a growing crisis. Chronic underfunding, limited resources and a reluctance to rethink traditional approaches to teaching and the curriculum mean that schools are often unable to adapt their provision to meet the individual needs of learners. As a result, far too many children are being placed in environments and expected to follow approaches to learning that simply do not work for them. Their needs are going unmet, their potential is being overlooked, and they are being let down by the very system intended to support them. This is particularly true for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), who are disproportionately affected by the limitations of the current system.
Understandably, much of the conversation surrounding this crisis focuses on the children who are being let down by the system. However, we must also recognise the impact it is having on teachers. Our schools are full of talented, dedicated and passionate educators who genuinely care about their subjects and the children they teach. Yet they, too, are constrained by a system that often denies them the flexibility, autonomy and resources needed to deliver education in the ways they know would best support their learners.
Most teachers know exactly what the children in their classrooms need to thrive, yet lack the freedom, flexibility and resources to provide it. They are overworked, placed under immense pressure and held accountable for outcomes that are often beyond their control. It is therefore unsurprising that growing numbers of highly skilled, passionate and dedicated teachers are choosing to leave the mainstream education system.
CreatED Complete aims to bring these two together: children who are eager to learn and teachers who are passionate about teaching, both seeking an alternative to the constraints of mainstream education.
Building on the creative, flexible and learner-centred approach already established through CreatED, CreatED Complete extends this ethos beyond the Arts to offer a broader, more comprehensive education across a wider range of subjects. We want to create an environment where teachers have the freedom and flexibility to adapt their approach to the individual needs of each learner, allowing children to access a more creative approach to education that responds to their needs and nurtures their strengths.
By also offering private exam sittings in our small, SEND-friendly exam centre, we can provide a more complete educational experience, supporting learners throughout their journey from tuition and learning through to formal assessment and qualifications, should they choose to pursue that pathway.
