CST masterclasses are a unique mini-series of virtual seminars that provide expert guidance on the strategy and practice of running school trusts as you lead your learning communities through recovery and growth.
Each masterclass explores the subject in hand from a strategic, technical and practical perspective. Our trainers combine deep understanding of the school trust system with specialist expertise from professional practice. Opportunities for discussion and group work in each seminar enable knowledge sharing and the creation of new connections.
CST’s masterclasses aim to inform and inspire trust executive and governance leaders with actionable insight in a safe, understanding environment.

The CST Masterclass programme is developed by CST’s expert trainers in collaboration with our Platinum Partners. We are delighted to also host guest contributors where possible, including Department for Education officials, regulators and affiliated sector organisations. Whilst the CST masterclass topics are repeated across the year, the content is always refreshed from session to session to stay ahead of changing policy, regulation, and good practice.
