Join The Confederation of School Trusts and Edurio as they explore the research findings of the National CST School Trust Report.

The Confederation of School Trusts (CST) and Edurio have recently launched the CST National School Trust Survey Report 2022. 

In this session Ernest Jenavs will present the key findings from the report and Charis Evans will highlight CST’s work to support the sector and reflect on how education suppliers provide value to school trusts.

With the move towards every school becoming part of a strong trust by the end of the decade, trusts are increasingly becoming the customer for a large share of the services provided to schools. Understanding trusts’ needs and priorities is key as the sector continues to develop.

By joining this session you will:

• Gain a detailed understanding of the priorities and challenges faced by school trusts for the coming year 
• Hear the sector body’s perspective on what makes a strong trust
• Engage in valuable discussion and exchange ideas with colleagues working with school trusts on a regular basis
