The Confederation of School Trusts 

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.

CST is a membership organisation of organisations. This means that the organisation – the Trust – is the member.
