The paper, part of CST's 'Bridge to the Future' series, makes the powerful argument that as we emerge from the pandemic that we should consider with fresh perspective the future for our Church of England schools.
We should recognise a deep synergy between the potential of academy trusts and the character and aims of church schools. As the mature civic education trust is best placed to create the conditions for deep collaboration among teachers and leaders to improve the quality of education and to engage in system building, so is it also the best forum and structure for the flourishing of the essential deep features of the church school.
