The Academy Enterprise Trust, the largest academy chain in the country with 77 schools, is planning to outsource all non-teaching jobs to for profit organisations within the next month. The trust has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as a partner in the plan and has proposed to set up a limited liability partnership which would be paid up to £400m of taxpayers money over 10 years. They will be responsible for providing IT staff, librarians, caretakers, speech and language therapy to name a few. PwC do not have a background in such services so is expected to subcontracts to other private companies.
