A Memorandum of Association is created relating to the establishment of the Trust under Company Law and sets out the names of the founding members of the Trust. *You can view this document below* The Articles of Association are implemented, outlining the rules about how Shaw Education Trust must be operated and governed. *You can view this document below* ### Documents \| Trust Structure Articles of Association 1.70 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/SET_AoA_September_2025.pdf) Memorandum of Association 28 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-trust-structure/Memorandum_of_Association.pdf) Master Funding Agreement 8.21 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-trust-structure/Master_Funding_Agreement.PDF) Shaw Education Trust's Accounting Officer is Kerry Inscker (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer is Catherine Hughes. The Trust must operate in line with the Academy Trust Handbook. This handbook provides an overarching framework for financial management and controls to ensure we meet our obligations as a publicly funded body. Each year we publish a detailed financial statement which demonstrates our compliance with this framework, as seen in our Financial Report (below) for the last financial year. We are committed to promoting equality in our work and, as so, we ensure gender equality within our payment structure. For more information, view our Gender Pay Gap Report below. Further information, such as details regarding executive pay, can be found below. ### Documents \| Finance \| Academy Trust Handbook Academy Trust Handbook 590 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Academy_Trust_Handbook_2024.pdf) ### Documents \| Finance \| Reports 2024-2025 Executive Pay Statement 270 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/2024-2025_Executive_Pay_Statement.pdf) 2023-2024 Executive Pay Statement 270 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/2023-2024_Executive_Pay_Statement.pdf) 2022-2023 Executive Pay Statement 269 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/2022-2023_Executive_Pay_Statement.pdf) Financial Report 2024-2025 9.76 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/Signed_Shaw_Education_Trust_2025_FINAL_compressed.pdf) Gender Pay Gap Report 2025 1.22 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/Gender_Pay_Gap%20(1).docx) Financial Report 2023-2024 926 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Shaw_Education_Trust_Financial_Report_2023-2024.pdf) Gender Pay Gap Report 2024 197 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Gender_Pay_Gap_Report_2024.pdf) Financial Report 2022-2023 926 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Shaw_Education_Trust_Financial_Report_2022-2023.pdf) Gender Pay Gap Report 2023 263 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Gender_Pay_Gap_Report_2023.pdf) Financial Report 2021-2022 590 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Shaw_Education_Trust_Financial_Report_2021-2022.pdf) Gender Pay Gap Report 2022 250 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Gender_Pay_Gap_Report_2022.pdf) Risk Protection Arrangement 2022-2023 46 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Risk_Protection_Arrangement-2022-2023.pdf) Financial Report 2020-2021 1.36 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Shaw_Education_Trust_Financial_Report_2020-2021.pdf) Gender Pay Gap Report 2021 252 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Gender_Pay_Gap_Report_2021.pdf) Financial Report 2019-2020 693 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Shaw_Education_Trust_Financial_Report_2019-2020.pdf) Financial Report 2018-2019 942 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Shaw_Education_Trust_Financial_Report_2018-2019.pdf) Gender Pay Gap Report 2018 125 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Gender_Pay_Gap_Report_2018.pdf) Financial Report 2017-2018 1.94 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Shaw_Education_Trust_Financial_Report_2017-2018.pdf) Gender Pay Gap Report 2017 201 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Gender_Pay_Gap_Report_2017.pdf) Financial Report 2016-2017 320 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Shaw_Education_Trust_Financial_Report_2016-2017.pdf) Financial Report 2015-2016 3.44 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Shaw_Education_Trust_Financial_Report_2015-2016.pdf) Financial Report 2014-2015 1.92 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/files/documents/02-about-us/key-finance/Shaw_Education_Trust_Financial_Report_2014-2015.pdf) [ post](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fshaw-education.org.uk%2Four-trust%2Fkey-information) ### Our Trust -
