It is essential that we have the best people to lead our schools if we are to raise standards.</p><p>We hold an analysis of multi-academy trusts that pay staff more than £150,000, but do not have a list of those between £140,000 and £150,000.

The latest available data, for the year ended 31 August 2015, is in the table below, which identifies 71 trusts (3%) paying over £150,000.
