At Creating Tomorrow, we believe that preparing young people for adulthood and employment is a shared mission—one that thrives on strong partnerships with employers, community connections, and a focus on meaningful futures.
This blog is dedicated to showcasing the power of collaboration.
Here, you’ll find inspiring stories of employer involvement, community-driven initiatives, and the real journeys of our learners as they move toward their next steps in life. Whether it's a work placement, apprenticeship, supported internship, or local project, every opportunity helps shape brighter, more inclusive futures.
At Creating Tomorrow Trust, we firmly believe that supporting young people extends far beyond the classroom. We are passionate about working alongside families, local organisations and community partners to create opportunities where everyone feels welcomed, valued and included.
That commitment came to life on Saturday as Wren Spinney School, proudly hosted the very first SENFest, a celebration of the SEND community that brought together families, support services, local organisations and volunteers from across North Northamptonshire for a truly memorable day.

More Than a Warehouse: Amazon's Commitment to Our Learners
Published 05/06/26, by Stacey Morris
Across Creating Tomorrow Trust, we are incredibly fortunate to work alongside a wide range of organisations that share our commitment to creating opportunities for young people with SEND. Among these valued partners is Amazon, whose ongoing support continues to make a meaningful difference across our trust.
Partnerships are at their strongest when they go beyond a single project or event, and that is exactly what we have experienced through our relationship with Amazon. Over time, their colleagues have supported learners through a variety of opportunities, helping to broaden horizons, build confidence and create memorable experiences that have a lasting impact.
What makes this partnership particularly special is the genuine interest Amazon's team takes in our learners and their futures. Whether supporting activities within school, providing insight into the world of work, or helping us bring ambitious projects to life, their involvement consistently demonstrates the power of industry and education working together.
More recently, Daventry Hill Learners got to visit Amazon to take part in their mental health awareness campaign.
"Students from Daventry Hill school were invited to a special petting zoo event at Amazon in Daventry, where they met exotic animals, engaged in nature activities and got a behind-the-scenes look at the fulfilment centre.
The animal menagerie experience was provided by The Phoenix Children’s Foundation, which provides fun-filled activities for children who live with disabilities, illness, or lack of opportunities. The charity hosts 22 acres of sensory gardens, and a collection of animals onsite.

Lewis Warburton from Amazon said:
“We wanted to create a truly memorable experience for the students of Daventry Hill School, and seeing the children’s faces light up when they met the donkeys and tortoises was just magical. Events like this remind us why community partnerships matter so much - we’re proud to open our doors and give local young people a day they’ll never forget.”
