Russell Education Trust

The Russell Education Trust (RET) is a Multi-Academy Trust. It provides educational support services in the creation and operation of academies established as part of the free schools programme. It is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee, with exempt charity status, regulated by the Department for Education. Its board members include experienced educationalists and representatives from RET schools' local governing bodies.

RET was established in 2010 by directors of the school improvement company Education London which, between 2003 and 2017, provided educational support services to Government, notably as a service provider to the London Challenge, as well as to individual Local Authorities and schools. Education London ceased trading in 2017 due to the retirement of its Operations Director, but continues as community interest company EL (RET) to sponsor RET.

Both organisations were based in the same office building in Leatherhead, Surrey, until 2024 when they moved to Teddington.

The Russell Education Trust has worked in partnership with parents, communities, and diocesan authorities to establish the following free schools:
