Education investment area (EIA) trust development statements (TDS)

These documents are for:

• established trusts or schools
• dioceses
• groups looking to expand existing trusts
• groups looking to form a new trust

You should use these to develop proposals on how to meet the challenges and opportunities in an EIA.

To support this, we have launched:

• the Trust Establishment and Growth (TEG) fund to support the development of trust growth project proposals in their initial stages
• the Trust Capacity Fund (TCaF) to support trusts that have an approved growth project to grow their capacity and take on underperforming schools

The relevant regional director’s office can provide more information on the opportunities and support available. You should contact them if you are an established trust, school or group looking to:

• form a new trust

• expand a trust

• join an existing trust
