Partnership and promotion with CST
CST works with companies and organisations to add value for our members, prioritising partners that are aligned with our members' values.

Exhibit at our events
CST hosts a wide range of events throughout the year, from our two-day CST Annual Conference each autumn - welcoming more than 1300 trust leaders - to a series of community conferences and summits throughout the year, focusing on particularly areas of professional expertise.
These offer unique opportunities to meet with decision makers in a collegiate environment. Our events are always focused on knowledge building and delivering real value to delegates. Dedicated time to visit supplier exhibitions is offered alongside full programmes encouraging delegates to reflect, share, and improve on their practice.

Directory of services
Suppliers with a proven record of working with school trusts may be eligible to become CST recognised suppliers and be listed in our online directory of services, showcasing your organisation to our members.
We ask for references from schools or trusts you have worked with, to help ensure trusts can rely on you to be provide a high quality service that will meet their needs.

Community supporters
CST's eleven professional communities provide opportunities for networking, peer-learning and knowledge building for those in key roles within school trusts. As a community supporter your organisation can demonstrate its commitment to a developing area of trust practice.
Our communities meet online each term, and hold an annual in-person event.

Platinum partners
CST's platinum partners collaborate with us to share their expertise with our members, and to create specialist knowledge that informs good governance, leadership, and management practice in school trusts.
We operate a limited number of partnerships working only with leading organisations in their fields, to ensure high quality engagement and significant benefits to our member trusts.
