Trust School Proposals

The Office of the Schools Commissioner has created a database containing a record of all schools that have published statutory proposals with the aim of becoming a Trust School.

Trust schools are lmaintained by local authorities and supported by a charitable foundation, or Trust.

Trust partners could be other schools, a local business, charity, Higher or Further Education Institution, or community group.  It is up to each school to decide who it would like to partner with. 

Find out more about Trust Schools, Sports Specialist Trusts , Companies House and the Charity Commission.
