Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 25 July 2016 to Question 43274, what estimate she has made of how many people will attend an Executive Educators programme for multi-academy trust leaders in 2016-17.

The Government does not hold this information. It is not possible to predict the exact level of participation in the programme in 2016-17. However, in 2015-16 there were 104 participants in the Executive Educators programme run by Future Leaders Trust.

This is only one example of this type of course and there are others. For example, UCL Institute of Education and Alliance Manchester Business School (University of Manchester) both run courses for existing and aspiring multi-academy trust CEOs and senior leaders.
