Jamie Waller appointed Director of the Creative Educators Network

We’re really pleased to share that Jamie Waller has been appointed Director of the Creative Educators Network, part of Day One Trust.

Jamie knows the Trust well. As Assistant Principal at London Screen Academy, he drove standards in teaching and learning, shaped our approach to curriculum development, developed our Industry Convertor Programme for trainee teachers and founded the Film & TV Educators Network.

Beyond ELAM and LSA

Jamie joins us at a pivotal moment, as we scale our impact beyond ELAM and LSA. The Creative Educators Network builds on the success of the Film & TV Educators Network, providing professional development, networking and curriculum resources to a growing community of more than 1,000 teachers. As it grows, the network will offer teachers of games and music the same support it gives film and TV teachers.

The Day One Trust has a proven record of delivering exceptional opportunities to its students through its schools, ELAM and LSA. We’re now at an exciting chapter where we can seek to expand those opportunities to as many young people as possible across the UK. Through the Creative Educators Network, we can share best practice with teachers around the country, helping them to deliver life-changing creative education, and ensuring that the creative industries are accessible to all young people.

Jamie Waller, Director, Creative Educators Network

Opportunities for every young person

Jamie is a Teach First Ambassador, a former school governor and a former civil servant. Throughout his career he has been driven by creating opportunities for all young people, whatever their background. The Creative Educators Network does this by empowering teachers: upskilling them, giving them access to industry and building a community they can rely on.

We’re delighted to welcome Jamie to his new role.
