Tomorrow (Friday) sees the launch of the county's latest trust set up by Powers Hall Academy in Witham.
Similar trusts have been set up in Wickford, Harlow, Notley, Rayleigh, Saffron Walden and Colchester.
Joe Figg, head teacher of Purleigh Primary School now executive head teacher of Meadgate Primary School – the first venture of the Purleigh Link Academy Trust established this summer - admits the move to set up an academy trust at Purleigh came about when he and the governors were looking for a new challenge after the school was rated outstanding by government inspectors last year.
He told This is Total Essex: "It will be like a mini authority with our own experts in school improvement, behaviour management, financial management, and every other aspect that schools need. It just makes so much sense to pool our resources – this is the way forward."
