CRE8 - Bishops Stortford

CRE8 is a full-time Creative Media and Education programme for 16–19-year-olds, committed to developing the next generation of content creators, designers, marketers, and media professionals.

Based at Bishop’s Stortford Football Club, our campus offers a dynamic and inclusive learning environment where students gain practical skills, academic support, and real-world industry experience. With direct links into the sports media and performance analysis industry, learners have the unique opportunity to work on live briefs, producing photography, video, digital content, and analysis projects that connect to professional football and beyond.

Whether your passion lies in photography, videography, graphic design, social media, digital marketing, or sports analysis, CRE8 provides the tools, knowledge, and pathways to help you succeed. Alongside this, students work towards a nationally recognised BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Creative Media Practice — equivalent to three A Levels — opening doors to university, apprenticeships, or direct employment in creative, marketing, and sports-related sectors.

The programme also embraces collaboration with professional creatives and businesses, giving students the chance to learn directly from influencers, photographers, videographers, editors, and analysts. By working on real-world projects across sport, social media, fashion, and retail, learners build a portfolio that showcases their skills and sets them apart in a competitive industry.

CRE8 is more than a classroom — it’s a launchpad for ambitious young people ready to build a future in the creative industries. With a focus on professional behaviours, personal growth, and career readiness, this is your opportunity to unlock your creative potential.
