The Trust Capacity Fund, announced last month by former education secretary Damian Hinds, is new for 2019/20, and will predominantly be for multi academy trusts to spend on growing. We outline what it covers, how much trusts can get and how to apply.

As your trust grows, one major challenge is ensuring that your branding is consistent and effective, while at the same time celebrating individual schools and the things that make them unique.
