Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the maximum levy is a multi academy trust can require from a school to operate that multi academy trust.
The Department for Education published an academy trust survey research report in July 2017. The survey found that the average top slice in a multi academy trust was 4.6%. More detail on the range of top-slicing approaches can be found in the report at https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/629779/Academy_Trust_Survey_2017.pdf.
The amount of any top slice is a matter for the academy trust and will usually depend on the range of central services offered.
