Northern Alliance of Trusts membership
In 2017 it was instrumental in setting up the Northern Alliance of Trusts. In 2019, the academies minister, Lord Agnew, announced a new growth fund to support smaller academy trusts to merge to create bigger trusts and share resources, in response criticisms of the efficiency academies.[3][relevant?] Northern Alliance of Trusts received a grant from the Department for Education Strategic School Improvement Fund. This was funding aimed at in-need schools to improve school performance and pupil attainment, and favoured schemes in which schools helped each other. Funding opened in 2017 and gave grants for two years.[4]
The Northern Alliance is the first formal partnership of its kind between larger chains. Members share resources but continue to act as independent legal entities.[5] The Alliance works on common procurement, leadership standards, fund raising, and strategies for the recruitment and retention of teachers.[6] It has eight members:
- Northern Education Trust
- Astrea Academy Trust
- Delta Academies Trust
- Dixons Academies Trust
- Horizons Specialist Academy Trust
- North East Learning Trust
- Outwood Grange Academies Trust
- WISE Academies
