The Confederation of School Trusts has recruited sector experts for a wide-ranging inquiry into “what works” in academy trusts.
Steve Rollett, deputy chief executive of the sector body for trusts, said developing professional capacity for school and trust improvement was “the responsibility of the sector, which should be supported by not prescribed by government”.
It comes only a few months after the government formally dropped plans for controversial new academy standards of its own and intervention powers.
A regulatory review aimed at making the system more “capable of improvement” is ongoing however, with publication promised first by December and now by the end of this month.
