The visit was a fantastic opportunity to share how we support our learners into meaningful employment – and to celebrate the strong partnerships we’ve built with local employers and our wider community.

A Warm Welcome from Our Learners

Our learners were ready to welcome Gen from the moment she arrived. They proudly led her on a guided tour of Chester House Estate, showcasing the wide range of real-world work experience opportunities available on site.

From hospitality to grounds maintenance, learners spoke with enthusiasm about how their placements help them grow in confidence, develop independence, and gain valuable skills for the future.

Gen was keen to get involved too – even stepping behind the bar to help learners pour a pint at the Hay Barn Café and Bar! She then met with the Chester House team to hear first-hand about their experiences of supporting our learners and the positive impact they bring to the workplace.

Celebrating Success Stories

During the visit, Gen met Max, one of our former learners who has now moved into paid employment with GXO, and Zac, who has joined the Chester House team as a valued staff member.

Their stories perfectly highlight what our five-day-a-week, employment-focused programmes are all about – giving young people the confidence, skills, and support to succeed in work and beyond.

Learners Leading the Conversation

Our learners also had the chance to turn the tables and ask Gen questions about the issues that matter most to them. She listened with genuine interest, sharing how she continues to champion opportunities for young people with SEND to enter and thrive in the workplace.

A Day to Remember

It was an inspiring and uplifting day for everyone involved. Seeing our learners speak so confidently about their journeys and ambitions was a real highlight.

A Stage to Shine

For our learners, this isn't just a performance - it's a moment to step into the spotlight and show the world what's possible when the right support, opportunity, and encouragement come together. Amazon Got Music celebrates confidence, creativity, and the belief that every young person deserves the chance to be seen, heard, and celebrated.

What It Means to Us

At Creating Tomorrow College, community engagement isn't just an extra - it's at the heart of everything we do. Events like this bring learning to life, allowing our students to experience something magical beyond the classroom.

From rehearsing to setting up, every step of this journey has been a learning experience. It's about more than the performance itself - it's about teamwork, self-belief, and the joy of achieving something together.

Meet Our Stars

We couldn't be prouder of every learner taking part in this event - both on stage and behind the scenes. Weather performing, or helping with the set, each student has contributed something unique.

We can't wait to watch their hard work pay off as they share their performance with family, friends, and the wider community.

Thank You

A huge thank you to Amazon for helping make this event possible. Through Amazon Got Music initiative, communities come together to celebrate the power of inclusion.

Partnerships like this show what can be achieved when organisations believe in young people with SEND - opening doors, raising awareness, and inspiring to see potential, not barriers.

A New Chapter for Creating Tomorrow College

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our newest site - Iron Mountain Campus in Lutterworth - opening in September 2024. This exciting development marks a major milestone for Creating Tomorrow College as we expand our pioneering model into Leicestershire, continuing our mission to deliver exceptional, inclusive education that prepares young people for real-world success.

A Partnership Built for Real-World Learning

At our new Iron Mountain Campus, we’ve partnered with Iron Mountain’s Magna Park site, part of the global logistics and data digitisation company, to create a state-of-the-art learning facility in the heart of Europe’s largest logistics and distribution hub.

This partnership enables our learners to experience an immersive education within a live working environment, bridging the gap between classroom learning and the workplace. It’s an incredible opportunity to gain practical experience, build confidence and develop the skills needed to thrive in employment and independent living.

Improving Opportunities for Young People in Leicestershire

By bringing our successful programme to Leicestershire - aided by Iron Mountain’s great passion and support - we hope to improve the long-term prospects of young people with learning difficulties local to Lutterworth.

Our proven Pathway to Employment model helps students gain confidence, qualifications and experience that lead directly into meaningful careers. This new partnership demonstrates our ongoing commitment to closing the disability employment gap and creating tailored pathways that empower every learner to succeed.
