Trust School

Trust schools are state-funded foundation schools which receive extra support (usually non-monetary) from a charitable trust made up of partners working together for the benefit of the school. Any maintained school — primary, secondary or special schools (but not maintained nursery schools) — can become a Trust school. Trust schools remain local authority-maintained.

TUPE
 
Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment): The official title of the legislation that protects the rights of staff transferring from one employer to another when a service is taken over by another provider. In the BSF context, this will apply, for example, to cleaning staff employed by the school who transfer to the LEP when the latter takes over providing that service after Financial Close (see also).
