How Schools, Teachers, and Organisations Can Get in Touch With CrEd

Updated

The most reliable way to reach CrEd - Creative Education International is through the relevant programme section on its official website, credinternational.com. The site is organised by audience and need, so the fastest route to the right contact is to start in the section that matches your enquiry: CrEd for Schools for school partnerships and workshops, CrEd Teacher Enrichment for teacher training, CrEd Corporate for workplace programmes, and CrEd Online for individual online courses. The site also invites visitors to "Join our CrEd Movement" and "Take action today," which is the general entry point for anyone unsure where to begin.

Start With the Section That Matches Your Enquiry

CrEd's homepage lists its programmes as distinct offerings, each aimed at a different audience. Choosing the right one before making contact saves a round of back-and-forth.

Your role or need Section to use What it covers
School leader or department head CrEd for Schools Bespoke workshops bringing literary works and Shakespeare to life through theatrical techniques
Teacher or school trainer CrEd Teacher Enrichment Programmes to empower schools and educators
Organisation or employer CrEd Corporate Training using theatre techniques to build workplace skills
Early years provider or parent CrEd Early Learning Solutions Full-time creative pre-primary school; home-schooling kits also available
Individual learner (any age) CrEd For Life / CrEd Online Drama programmes for all age groups, including adults; online courses
Language learner CrEd Language Development Learning English through the performance arts

If your enquiry spans more than one area — for example, a school that also wants corporate-style training for staff — describe both needs in your first message so they can be routed together.

Use the "Join Our CrEd Movement" Entry Point for General Enquiries

The homepage's closing call to action is the catch-all route for visitors who are not yet sure which programme fits. It frames contact as joining a broader educational effort rather than making a single purchase, which suits exploratory enquiries such as:

  • Asking whether CrEd works with schools in your region
  • Proposing a partnership, event, or competition
  • Requesting information about a programme before committing

When using this route, state your organisation, your location, and the outcome you want. A message like "We are a secondary school in [city] interested in a Shakespeare workshop for Year 9; who should we speak to?" gives far more to work with than a general expression of interest.

Note the Confirmed International Footprint

Two items on the site show that CrEd works with partners outside its home base, which is useful context if you are enquiring from abroad:

  • France: CrEd reports continuing its growth in France with a new presence in Calais Côte d'Opale.
  • Nigeria: CrEd International Drama featured at the Chrisland Schools Annual Workshop.

These are the partnership examples the site itself confirms. If you are in a neighbouring region or run a similar institution, mentioning these cases can help frame your enquiry — but treat them as evidence of activity, not as a published list of offices or local contacts.

What to Include in Your First Message

Because the site does not publish a single general contact address in the material available, a well-structured first message through the most relevant section does most of the work. Include:

  1. Who you are — school, teacher, company, or individual.
  2. Where you are — country and city, especially if you are outside the UK.
  3. Which programme you are asking about, using the section names above.
  4. Your goal and timing — for example, a workshop in the next school term, or a staff training day.
  5. Group size and age range, if relevant to a school or early years enquiry.

Practical Points Before You Send

  • Check the programme page first. Each section describes what the offering involves; reading it lets you ask a specific question rather than a general one.
  • Distinguish between the e-Theatre and in-person work. The site lists "CrEd e-Theatre" and "CrEd Online" alongside school-based workshops, so say clearly whether you want something delivered remotely or on site.
  • Allow for routing time. Enquiries that arrive through a general channel may need to be passed to the right programme lead, so contact early if you have a fixed date.
  • No pricing is published on the pages reviewed. If budget is a constraint, ask about cost and format in your first message rather than assuming a figure.

For most schools and organisations, the practical sequence is: identify your section, read that page, then send a short message naming your institution, location, programme of interest, and desired outcome. That single step puts your enquiry in front of the right part of CrEd and gives them what they need to respond usefully.
