Schools in the largest multi-academy trusts have higher levels of teacher turnover than other schools, new research has found.
The Education Policy Institute’s latest research into effective school groups, published this morning, follows the release of a study last month on pupil inclusion and attainment.
Today’s report found that large trusts have the highest turnover rates, particularly so in secondary academies.
Analysis also suggested that academy trust tend to be in a better financial position that others, as they post healthier in-year balances. However the data is from 2019.
Louis Hodge, EPI’s associate director for school system and performance, said “our understanding of the relative strengths and weaknesses of different [school] groups has, to date, been patchy and inconclusive”.
