NAHT, in collaboration with Browne Jacobson, is pleased to announce this guidance document – the first in a suite of documents and discussion tools around this topic. 

This document is intended to provide further information about what it means to become an academy or join a trust. It is aimed at helping school leaders who are involved in conversations around legal and governance structures relating to their school. NAHT and Browne Jacobson have also produced a guide providing further information about what it means to become an academy or to join a trust when a faith school, Understanding faith academy trusts.
