The government has announced new policies to move the sector towards its vision of all schools being part of a strong academy trust.
Non-statutory guidance has been published which includes
- consultation on long standing 'requires improvement' schools joining trusts
- plans to make it easier to join multi-academy trusts
- an increase in the trust capacity fund for 2021-22 to £24million
- schools able to join a multi-academy trust temporarily before deciding whether to join permanently through the concept of 'trust partnerships'
- £1.25million to establish a new 'turnaround' trust specifically for Roman Catholic schools in need of intensive support
- a pilot programme with the Church of England and Roman Catholic Church to set up new academy trusts
- greater clarity in the academies handbook, with a clear regulatory framework that can support strong trusts
