From Good to Great
Our ambition for the next ten years
To be great
We believe that being good is not the end of the story – our ambition is to be great.
Greatness, for us, is not occasional brilliance but consistent excellence for every child, every day.
The Trust is committed to ensuring that high educational standards and genuine inclusion go hand in hand, while preserving the magical moments of childhood.
Our partnerships lead to success
Our journey from good to great will be possible because of the people who have walked alongside CET.
To our staff, who give their best every single day for our pupils – bringing dedication, creativity, and care into every role. To our governors, who provide wisdom, challenge, and stewardship-ensuring that our leaders remain ambitious, accountable, and rooted in the values we hold dear. To our communities, who place their trust in us – supporting our schools, celebrating their successes, and standing by us through challenges. And to our partners, who share their expertise, resources, and encouragement – helping us to extend our impact and raise our ambitions.
Collaboration is key
Cumbria Education Trust has been built together — each achievement is the result of collective endeavour and a shared belief that education transforms lives.
The past ten years tell a story of collaboration and success; the next ten will continue in the same spirit, as CET pursues continuous improvement and moves confidently from good to great.
