Our DfE Supplemental Funding Agreement (SFA)
A DfE Supplemental Funding Agreement (SFA) is a legally binding contract between the Secretary of State for Education and a Multi-Academy Trust (MAT). It outlines specific terms for an individual academy within a trust, including details on capacity, age range, and land, operating under a master funding agreement.
Key details regarding DfE SFAs include:
Purpose: They detail the specific arrangements for an individual school within a trust.
- Context: Used when forming a multi-academy trust, where the SFA complements the master funding agreement.
- Content: Contains specific information such as the name of the school, age range, and land arrangements.
- Approval: Revised models were introduced for academies opening on or after April 1, 2018.
