Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, which multi academy trusts have taken on new academies in the 2016-17 financial year to date.

A list of academies that have opened this financial year together with their trust information is attached and available through the department’s Edubase site at: http://www.education.gov.uk/edubase/home.xhtml

Regional Schools Commissioners take very seriously all decisions to allow a trust to take on additional schools.
