Core Values

C.R.E.D

At SoundSkool we expect all of our learners and staff team to be and demonstrate CRED

SoundSkool Ethos & Values

Creativity

We believe that creativity is at the heart of self-expression and growth. We encourage our creators to explore their artistic potential, experiment with new ideas, and develop their unique self in a safe and supportive environment.

Responsibility

We encourage students to take ownership of their learning, actions, and future. We believe that accountability, respect, and integrity are key to building positive relationships and thriving in the music industry — and in life.

Excellence

We are committed to delivering high-quality education and experiences. We inspire each student to set ambitious goals, strive for their best, and take pride in their achievements — however big or small.

Determination

We know that success requires resilience and perseverance. We empower students to stay committed to their goals, overcome challenges, and believe in their ability to succeed — no matter their background or circumstances

Living Our Ethos & Values – CRED

At SoundSkool, our values are more than just words — they are the foundation of our ethos, shaping everything we do. Our CRED values — Creativity, Responsibility, Excellence, and Determination — guide how we teach, learn, and support one another. For our students, these values inspire ambition, growth, and success.

For our staff team, these values promote collaboration, accountability, and a shared commitment to empowering young people through music. Together, we embrace CRED to create a positive, inclusive, and inspiring environment where everyone can thrive.

Alongside learning the specialist music knowledge and key skills students need to succeed in the dynamic and multifaceted music industry, we support and develop students’ general employability skills throughout the course.

Our courses are designed to prepare students to move into more advanced learning, get a job or create a (music) business. SoundSkool therefore expects all students to behave professionally at all times and attend all lessons on time.
