Get help from the trust governance experts
CST specialises in supporting school trusts - it is what we were set up to do. We have unrivalled expertise in the sector, with our frameworks and thought-leadership setting the agenda in trust governance.
From external review of governance, to vision setting, to trust improvement we can help guide your trust forward with confidence.
These pages outline the services we offer, but we recognise that trusts are designed to be different and to have the freedom to meet the needs of their communities. Our trust development support reflects that: we build bespoke support around our trusted frameworks, enabling us to scale from the smallest to the largest trusts. We are able to call on a team of consultants with extensive experience of trusts of all types, ensuring you are matched with the right expertise.
Our consultant, Jackie Eason, was superb. She brought huge expertise and experience, very quickly developed an insightful understanding of our trust, and conducted a review which was deep enough to provide meaningful conclusions without being unnecessarily complex. Those involved were unanimous in their praise of both the process and the value of the discussions and report.
The Confederation of School Trusts is the sector body and employer body for school trusts in England. We advocate for, connect, and support executive and governance leaders.
