About English academy trusts

Multi-academy trusts (MATs)

MATs run two or more academies under a single legal charity, sharing central services, CPD and career pathways. Working for a MAT often means access to trust-wide progression across primary, secondary and SEND settings.

Single-academy trusts (SATs)

SATs run one academy — typically a former converter or free school. Smaller than MATs but with the same freedoms from local authority control.

How trusts relate to schools

Every academy has a single accountable trust. Browse the UK schools directory to see which trust runs each school, or open a trust profile to see its current member list.

Recruitment partners

Many MATs work with education recruitment agencies for supply and hard-to-fill roles. Where an agency manages a vacancy, we say so rather than presenting it as a trust-posted role.

Frequently asked questions

＋What is an academy trust?

An academy trust is a charitable, state-funded body that runs one or more academies in England. Multi-academy trusts (MATs) run several schools; single-academy trusts (SATs) run one.

＋How many academy trusts are there?

Academy trusts are an England-only structure, and there are a few thousand of them. SchoolJobs.uk lists the approved English multi-academy and single-academy trusts that meet our directory eligibility rules — the number shown at the top of this page is the current count — with their current member schools and live vacancies.

＋How do MATs recruit teachers?

MATs typically recruit centrally through a trust-wide careers site and share roles across their academies. Each trust profile on SchoolJobs.uk aggregates live vacancies from every current member school.

＋What's the difference between an academy and a maintained school?

Academies are funded directly by central government and run by an academy trust; maintained schools are funded and overseen by the local authority. Pay scales, term dates and admissions can differ.

＋Do academy trusts pay teachers on the STPCD?

Academy trusts are not legally required to follow the School Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document, but most mirror STPCD ranges. Individual trust profiles link to their pay policies where published.

＋How do I apply for a job with an academy trust?

Open the vacancy and use Apply. You submit your application on SchoolJobs.uk and can track it in My Applications. Each listing also links back to the advert it came from, for attribution — that link is not the application route.
