Russell Education Trust

The Russell Education Trust (RET) is a Multi-Academy free school Trust.[1] It provides educational support services in the creation and operation of free schools.[2] It is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee, with exempt charity status, regulated by the Department for Education.[3] Its board members include experienced educationalists and representatives from RET school governing bodies.[4]

RET was established in 2010 by the school improvement company Education London (EL), which provides educational support services to Government, notably as a service provider to the London Challenge, as well as to individual Local Authorities and schools.[5][6][7][8] Both organisations are based in the same office building in Leatherhead, Surrey.[2][9]

The Russell Education Trust is working with parents, communities, and diocesan authorities to establish the following free schools:[10]

Governance Model

RET established its first two free schools using the Single Academy Trust model.[16] It formed two sub-trusts, the Bristol Free School Trust and the Becket Keys CofE Free School Trust,[17][18][19][20] which each signed free school funding agreements with the Secretary of State.[21] Like RET itself, RET's sub-trusts are exempt charities, regulated by the Department for Education.[3]

For its later schools RET used the Multi-Academy Trust model.[1][22][23][24]
