Schools within TSAT receive funding from the DfE's Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). To qualify for this funding the trust must ensure that it meets the requirements of the MAT Master Funding Agreement and each individual schools Supplemental Funding Agreement. 

Trustees are responsible for ensuring that the funds received are used only in accordance with the law, articles of association, funding agreements and the Academies Handbook.

The accounting officer must sign a statement on regularity, propriety and compliance each year and submit this to the ESFA.
