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]

The Trust was established in 2010 by the school improvement company Education London, which provides educational support services to Government, as well as individual Local Authorities and schools. [4] [5] [6]

Both organisations are based in the same office building in Leatherhead, Surrey.[2][7]

The Russell Education Trust is working with parents, communities, and diocesan authorities to establish the following free schools:[8]

RET established its first two free schools using the Single Academy Trust model.[14] It formed two sub-trusts, the Bristol Free School Trust and the Becket Keys CofE Free School Trust,[15][16] which each signed free school funding agreements with the Secretary of State.[17] Like RET itself, RET's sub-trusts are exempt charities, regulated by the Department for Education.[3]

For the two schools it opened in 2013 RET used the Multi-Academy Trust model.[1][18][19]
