Academies body says decisions will make it 'much more difficult' for trusts to support schools in need and will leave smaller primaries 'vulnerable'
The Department for Education will end its grant scheme for schools choosing to become an academy at the end of this year and has “no plans” to continue to run its trust capacity and trust establishment and growth funds.
Trusts waiting to hear about capacity and growth funding bids for this summer’s funding round of both funds have also been told no cash will be handed out.
It comes as the new Labour government seeks to rationalise the dual school system in England.
