Leadership at Apple

Trust leaders rarely have the chance to learn from high-performing organisations beyond the education sector, yet these opportunities can spark fresh thinking and strengthen strategic leadership. CST is collaborating with the Apple Education team to offer CST members a unique chance to do just that.

This full-day event at their UK headquarters in Battersea will bring together a small group of trust leaders for curated discussions, seminar-style presentations and a behind-the-scenes tour of Apple HQ. 

Who should attend

You are invited to nominate two colleagues to attend one of the three dates, typically the chief executive and a senior colleague (we’d suggest the director of education, or senior teaching and learning manager).

What to expect

The day will combine learning, discussion, reflection and networking, giving you an insight into the thinking and practices of an organisation outside education. In the week prior to their visit, you will be invited to join a short online meeting to share their questions, interests and areas they would like to explore, helping to shape the format and content of the day.

The day will include:

• Seminar style sessions and curated discussions focused on leadership, vision, values, and systemic challenges.

• Insight into how technology can enable strategy and transformation, and what this means in an educational context.

• Opportunities for deep reflection and practical application to your trust’s unique context.

• A guided tour of Apple HQ, offering a behind the scenes look at one of the world’s most innovative organisations.

The day is free to attend. You are responsible for any travel costs
