Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 30 October 2017 to Question 109401, how many of the schools formerly within the Wakefield City Academies Trust have been placed with new trusts.

None of the schools in the Wakefield City Academies Trust have yet been transferred to new trusts. The department have provisionally identified new trusts for all of the schools to join, and have invited interested groups to share views by 12 November. We are working to transfer all of the schools to new trusts within the current academic year.
