What this means

Funding
An academy is funded directly by the Department for Education, through its trust, rather than through the local council.
Admissions
The trust is the admissions authority and sets the admissions policy. Applications are usually still coordinated by the local council.
Governance
The trust board is legally accountable for the school. It often delegates some oversight to a local governing body.
