<p>As at 7 January 2019, 78 academies were in the process of transferring from one
trust to another and all of these academies have a new sponsor identified.</p><p>Academies
may transfer to other trusts in a range of circumstances. In some cases, Regional
School Commissioners may intervene due to concerns about academy performance and in
other cases, an academy may be moving trust as part of an agreed voluntary arrangement.
In all cases, a new trust will have been identified before the transfer is approved.
For this reason, the department does not have any academies that have been approved
for transfer where a new sponsor (or trust) has not been identified.</p><p>If a transfer
is not felt to be the right approach, other improvement activity will take place,
including other support arrangements.</p>
