Try Before You Buy

Gavin Williamson, Education Secretary at the time, announced in April 2021 that the government are establishing a process whereby schools can temporarily partner with a strong multi-academy trust.

“We are also developing an idea that originated with some of our leading trusts, which makes it easier for maintained and stand-alone schools to explore the benefits of joining a strong trust.”

 

“Schools can ‘try before they buy’ and see for themselves first-hand what being part of a strong trust involves.”

 

“We are setting up a process for them to temporarily partner with a strong trust, to experience the benefits that being part of a trust would offer them, their pupils, and their wider school communities.”
