<p>We have published guidance which sets out how publicly funded land and school playing
fields are protected. This guidance is available at:</p><p><a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/protection-of-school-playing-fields-and-public-land-advice"
target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/protection-of-school-playing-fields-and-public-land-advice</a></p><p>
</p><p>If land ceases, or will cease, to be used for an academy, the Secretary of
State may need to make a determination in order to protect the public investment in
the land. The Secretary of State will consider a range of factors including:</p><p>1.
the degree of public investment in the land and the degree of any enhancement to the
value attributable to that investment;</p><p>2. the degree of private investment in
the land and the degree of any enhancement to the value attributable to that investment;</p><p>3.
the length of time that the land has been in public use;</p><p>4. the value of the
land at the date of determination.</p><p> </p><p>Information about the number of academies
where land has been transferred from a governing body to an academy trust is not held
centrally and could be compiled only at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p>
