1 in 4 Northern schools with academy order fail to find broker within a year
More than one in four schools in the North issued with a directive academy order couldn’t find a new broker within a year, DfE data has revealed.
Under the Education and Adoption Act (2016) every school judged “inadequate” by Ofsted has to become an academy. However, following an FOI request by Tes, it was shown that of 155 directive academy order in place for at least 12 months, 42 schools had still not been matched with an Academy Trust.
