I've read that Lord Trenchard actually founded the Training School but maybe that's not a contradiction to the first commander as cited in the article?

[edit] Trenchard/CFS

From the official Web site:

"In compensation, a naval officer, Captain Godfrey Paine, RN was chosen to be the first Commandant."

"One of the successful students on this first course was Major Hugh Trenchard who was later to become Lord Trenchard and first Marshal of the Royal Air Force."
