Multi-academy Trusts
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that multi-academy trusts maintain education standards.
Answered by Catherine McKinnell
Multi-academy trusts play an important role in our schools system, both supporting school improvement and driving forward high-quality education for our children.
Working with schools we will drive excellent teaching and leadership, a high-quality curriculum, robust accountability and faster school improvement, and an inclusive system which removes barriers to learning to ensure every child can achieve and thrive in education. The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill will help deliver this by providing a core guarantee of quality education in every school, no matter where children live or what school they attend. To ensure all parts of our system are focused on delivering these excellent outcomes, the government will in future bring multi-academy trusts into our inspection system.
