Campaign for Real Education (CRE)
Formed in 1987 by 14 parents and teachers, we campaign for higher standards and more parental choice in education.
The CRE is neither of the Left nor of the Right and it is not affiliated to any political cause or party. It is funded entirely by voluntary donations.
Since its foundation, members of our executive committee have advised both 10 Downing Street and the Department for Education. We have, also, been represented on a number of government advisory bodies.
Whilst in office, both a schools minister and a secretary of state have chaired or addressed CRE meetings. Prime ministerial praise for CRE members is a matter of public record.
The views of the CRE have long been regularly sought and reported by most major media outlets in the UK and by many from around the world.

Donations:The CRE is, and always has been, a voluntary organisation, totally independent in nature and free from any political affiliations. The work of the CRE is as important today as it was when it was founded in 1987. Set up by Nick Seaton and his colleagues, they worked indefatigably to highlight and campaign against worrying trends in British education. Sadly, Nick passed away in 2012. We wish to continue to honour Nick's hard work. We do, of course, incur certain costs such as the maintenance of this website. We are entirely dependent upon donations from our supporters. Any contribution you may wish to make, no matter how big or small, will be very gratefully received. Your contributions enable us to fight to bring common sense back into education.
