Since 1 September 2015, 108 academies have transferred to a new sponsoring trust. In most, but not all cases, the transfers were because of performance issues and demonstrates our commitment to not allow failing schools to stagnate but to take robust action to move them elsewhere.

Named day questions only occur in the House of Commons. The MP tabling the question specifies the date on which they should receive an answer. MPs may not table more than five named day questions on a single day.
