Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many academy schools are awaiting re-brokering as of 26 April 2018.
As at 26 April 2018, there were 89 academies that have been approved by Head Teacher Boards to transfer to another trust.
Academies may transfer to other trusts in a range of circumstances. In some cases, Regional Schools Commissioners may be intervening due to concerns about academy performance. In other cases, an academy may be moving trust as part of an agreed voluntary arrangement. Although transfers are agreed in principle, some may end up not going ahead for any number of reasons.
