When a decision is taken to close an academy many factors are taken into consideration. Closure in this context is taken to include the complete permanent closure of a school, as well as closures which take place as a result of allowing schools to amalgamate or merge. An academy may also be re-brokered. This is where an academy changes trust and/or sponsor and is closed and re-opened as a new academy in a different trust.<\/p><p>59 academies have been closed since 2010. The majority of these have either been re-brokered, amalgamated or merged with other academies.<\/p><p>There have been complete closures of four academies. Two of these academies are secondary academies and have closed since 2015.<\/p><p>Of these four academies, only one was rated as Inadequate by Ofsted in the inspection prior to its closure, although at its previous inspection it was rated as Good.<\/p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Establishment Name<\/p><\/td><td><p>Close Date<\/p><\/td><td><p>Phase Of Education<\/p><\/td><td><p>Last Ofsted grade<\/p><\/td><td><p>Last Ofsted date<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>The Marlowe Academy<\/p><\/td><td><p>03/09/2015<\/p><\/td><td><p>Secondary<\/p><\/td><td><p>Requires Improvement<\/p><\/td><td><p>10/07/2013<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>Manchester Alternative Provision Academy<\/p><\/td><td><p>01/09/2014<\/p><\/td><td><p>Not applicable<\/p><\/td><td><p>No inspection data<\/p><\/td><td><p>No inspection data<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>Weston Academy<\/p><\/td><td><p>31/12/2015<\/p><\/td><td><p>Primary<\/p><\/td><td><p>Inadequate<\/p><\/td><td><p>21/01/2015<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>Oasis Academy Hextable<\/p><\/td><td><p>31/08/2016<\/p><\/td><td><p>Secondary<\/p><\/td><td><p>Requires Improvement<\/p><\/td><td><p>22/04/2015<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p> <\/p><p>One secondary school, Oasis Academy Hextable, closed within three years of their conversion from a state secondary school.
