We are delighted to be partnered with the Confederation of School Trusts.

CST is the national organisation and ‘sector body’ for school trusts in England advocating for, connecting and supporting executive and governance leaders, they are creating a forum for school trusts to belong to something bigger than themselves in order to speak authoritatively to government. Their purpose is to help create an excellent education system in England and to hold trust on behalf of children.
