We have worked alongside the academies regulatory and commissioning review advisory group to consider how we can change our approach to managing the academies system so that it:

• supports trusts to realise their full potential
• delivers better outcomes for children

This report sets out how we will support trusts and build a resilient, trust-led system. Our approach is focused on:

• reforming the regulatory system
• embedding a clear definition of trust quality
• strengthening departmental support

Guidance on the commissioning process including trust quality descriptions is available at Commissioning high-quality trusts.
