(2) Board Evaluation

The Confederation of School Trusts (CST) is the national organisation and sector body for school trusts, advocating for, connecting and supporting executive and governance leaders. This session will create a space to reflect on board evaluation. The current approach to board evaluation focuses on individual skills and competencies. The session will explore a different approach based on the competence of the board as a corporate entity.

CST has developed an improvement capacity framework for trust governance; working with the RSC offices in the South West and Lancashire and West Yorkshire to align the framework with the RSC school improvement framework. This surgery aims to introduce you to the framework, focused on the effectiveness of the board as a corporate entity. Copies of the framework will be available.

Session holder: Leora Cruddas, Chief Executive of CST
