Schools linked to the trust in the Governance Register school data (Get Information about Schools, extract of 24 Oct 2026). Pupils are on-roll counts from the register. Ofsted: latest inspection in the Ofsted management information (as at 30 September 2026); "No overall grade" means inspected since September 2024 without a one-word grade; what the inspection found is shown beneath, and the school's Ofsted card has the full table.

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.
