Academies: Sheffield

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what organisations she has approved to be potential sponsors of future sponsored academies in Sheffield.

Answer

Prior to the creation of Regional Schools Commissioners (RSCs), academy sponsors were approved on a national basis. From 1 September 2014, RSCs have been approving sponsors to operate in their region, on behalf of the Secretary of State. However, approval is not broken down beyond regional level.

A list of nationally approved sponsors, which includes all sponsors that have been approved in England, is published here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/academy-sponsor-contact-list
