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.

Monday 29th June 2026 saw students, families and professionals come together for Daventry Hill School annual Careers and Transition Event, providing an excellent opportunity to explore the wide range of Post-16 and Post-18 pathways available across Northamptonshire, Warwickshire and Oxfordshire. 

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.

The petting zoo at Amazon in Daventry featured animals like tortoises, rabbits, and donkeys."

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.”

Providing meaningful work experience opportunities that allow learners to develop skills, build confidence and make valuable contributions within their local community is something we are incredibly proud of across Creating Tomorrow Trust.

An excellent example of this can be found at Isebrook School, where learner Rory recently completed a fantastic work experience project with Rushden Museum.

Work experience is at its best when learners are trusted with real responsibilities and given opportunities to make a genuine contribution. During his placement, Rory researched, wrote and helped curate an article about the history of Rushden Station, demonstrating not only his enthusiasm and commitment, but also a wide range of transferable skills.

Recently, learners from Isebrook School were given a fantastic opportunity to visit Foundry Education in Rushden, where they took part in an inspiring session focused on something incredibly important, how learning environments can be designed to better support young people with SEND.

The visit included a full tour of the Foundry site, giving learners the chance to explore the working environment and see first-hand how projects move from idea to reality. The team on the shop floor paused work to allow learners to safely explore and ask questions, which created a really welcoming and engaging experience for everyone involved.
