If the assessment covers more than one legal entity (for example a Trust and a separate company it owns) answer Yes.
Schools that are part of the same Trust are normally not separate legal entities.
All entities must share the same network and the same board-level signatory.
1.6.1 Please provide the name, URN/company number and registered address of any additional legal entities.
Only answer if you said Yes to 1.6.
Give the name, registration number (letters and numbers only, no spaces) and registered address of each extra entity. The person signing off must have authority over every entity listed.
Choose the option that best describes your school.
Trusts running mixed phases should choose Academia - Academies.
If you do not fit an option (for example, a special school), choose Other and describe your setting.
Enter your school or Trust website address. If you do not have one, you can use a social media page.
Your assessor may check it to understand the size and type of your organisation.
