<p>Academy trusts operate under a strict system of oversight and accountability for
the quality of education they provide, which informs decisions about targeted support
or intervention. Regional School Commissioners work to support academy trusts within
their regions and, where appropriate, encourage academies and trusts to apply for
funding to support school improvement, such as The Multi-academy trust Development
and Improvement Fund.</p><p>Where a school wishes to leave a trust of which it is
already a part of, this is possible with the consent of my right hon. Friend, the
Secretary of State for Education, providing both the school and the trust are in favour;
that it can be demonstrated there will be greater benefits for the school from joining
another trust; and that the capacity of the existing trust is not diminished.</p><p>
