In 2017 it was instrumental in setting up the Northern Alliance of Trusts. In 2019, the academies minister, Lord Agnew, announced a new growth fund to support smaller academy trusts to merge to create bigger trusts and share resources, in response criticisms of the efficiency academies.{{cite news |title=No point giving schools more money if it's not spent properly |url=https://schoolsweek.co.uk/agnew-no-point-putting-extra-money-in-schools-if-its-not-being-spent-properly/ |access-date=31 August 2019 |work=Schools Week |date=20 June 2019}}{{Relevance inline|date=September 2024}} Northern Alliance of Trusts received a grant from the Department for Education Strategic School Improvement Fund. This was funding aimed at in-need schools to improve school performance and pupil attainment, and favoured schemes in which schools helped each other. Funding opened in 2017 and gave grants for two years.{{cite web |title=Strategic School Improvement Fund |url=https://www.gov.uk/guidance/strategic-school-improvement-fund |website=GOV.UK |access-date=19 December 2019 |language=en}}
