Governance

Queen Eleanor Primary Academy is one of a growing number of schools in the Creative Education Trust family. Creative Education Trust is a non-profit educational charity recognised by the Department for Education as one of the leading multi-academy chains.

School Ethos

Our aim is to provide all pupils with a broad, relevant and engaging curriculum that will equip them with the knowledge and habits required to succeed in the next stage of their education and into their adult lives.

Our six school values are woven into all aspects of what we do: endeavour, integrity, courtesy, resilience, collaboration and pride. These values guide how we develop the personal habits of pupils as learners and as well-rounded people.

The Trust Board

The CET Board is the overall governing body of the Trust and all its Academies. It is charged with the strategic direction of the Trust and is responsible to the Secretary of State for Education for executing its statutory duties. Its main functions are:

  • Setting annual performance targets
  • Determining all statutory and other policies
  • Ensuring that curriculum requirements are met
  • Setting the budget for the Trust and each academy
  • Being the employer of all staff
  • Being the ultimate body of appeal within the Trust
  • Agreeing all major building work with the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA).

Creative Education Trust can be contacted at: 67-68 Long Acre, London, WC2E 9JD and through telephone 020 39109200. The following link also contains further information around governance, schemes of delegation and accounts, Creative Education Trust Statutory Information.
