Answer
Departmental officials are working closely with trustees at the University of Brighton Academies Trust on the actions they are taking to address concerns raised by staff and parents.
This includes an ongoing review into a number of organisational changes that are planned over the coming months. I will continue to monitor progress on these discussions.
I am pleased that the trust has made a number of changes already, including the appointment of new trustees to the academy trust’s board, a review of the trust’s financial management, and the appointment of an Executive Director of Change.
