Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether any limits are placed on the funds academies can spend on marketing.
Academy trusts must spend their funds on their charitable objectives to advance education. Within this limit, trusts are responsible for determining for themselves how to allocate their funds across different activities, including marketing, and for ensuring that their spending decisions achieve regularity, propriety and value for money. Trusts are best placed to make this decision, in light of their individual circumstances.
