When the Aspire Educational Trust was registered as a company we were required to have:

• a ‘memorandum of association’ - a legal statement signed by all initial shareholders or guarantors agreeing to form the company. It is created automatically as part of the registration and cannot be updated once the company has been registered.
• ‘articles of association’ - written rules about running the company agreed by the shareholders or guarantors, directors and the company secretary.

View our Certificate of Incorporation - Change of Name

Because we decided to change the company name, Companies House provided us with a Certificate of Incorporation - Change of Name. Aside from the company name, all other details remained exactly the same as the original, including the company registration number and date of incorporation.
