Bright Tribe Trust

The Bright Tribe Trust was a multi-academy trust, active in October 2015, that took on failing schools.

A new Interim Executive Board (IEB) would be brought onto the school, along with a new headteacher. Bright Tribe would cite a school's continued financial deficit, and declining pupil numbers as reasons for subsequently the pulling out of sponsorship.

Bright Tribe sponsored 10 academies in Suffolk, Essex, Greater Manchester and the North of England.
