Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what his Department's policy is on what exceptional circumstances a school with a Good or Outstanding Ofsted rating under control of a multi-academy trust could request to the regulator to move to the control of a different multi-academy trust.

As set out in the Schools White Paper, the department will be consulting on the exceptional circumstances in which a good school could request that the regulator agrees to the school moving to a stronger trust.
