We believe school trusts are well set up to play a civic role – particularly the larger trusts who may be quite large employers in an area and will have the capability and capacity to act with other civic partners. But even smaller trusts can all play a role – as many already do – as good civic partners to their local authority to advance education as a public good in their community.
CST gave evidence to the Commission, and with CST members and Public First (secretariat to the Civic University Commission), produced this guide to help trusts think through how they might maximise and build their civic impact.
