<p>1,014 applications to become sponsors of academies have been received since 2010;
of which 814 applications have been approved.</p><p>Tables 1 to 3 show the number
of applications for sponsorship of academies received by the Department for Education
each year since 2010, by Regional Schools Commissioners’ (RSC) region.</p><p>Applications
made in a given year may not be approved until a following year, thus tables 1 and
3 are not comparable. Table 2 shows the number of applications made in a given year
that were approved the same year, it does not account for applications made in previous
years that were then approved in a following year.</p><p>A list of approved academy
sponsors and their registered lead RSC region is published on GOV.UK at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/academy-sponsor-contact-list"

</p><p>[1] Co-sponsors can undertake similar activities to that of a lead sponsor,
but are unlikely to act as the chair of an Academy trust or that of a Governing Body,
a role which is typically undertaken by a lead sponsor. The lead sponsor might appoint
co-sponsors as members or directors (governors) of an Academy Trust.</p><p>[2] Educational
partners deliver specific services to an Academy trust, which may or may not be undertaken
as a contracted arrangement between the education partner and a Trust. These services
can include: delivering “back office services”; providing continuous professional
development, sharing facilities, sharing Governors, and providing school improvement
services.</p>
