What is an Academy?
An academy is a school that runs independently of the local authority, often as part of a group called a MAT (Multi Academy Trust). They still operate much like local authority schools in the past but within this new governance structure that will include directors, who effectively run that academy’s trust. Done well, these trusts provide a community that enables schools to work together.
Some academies have sponsors such as businesses, universities, other schools, faith groups or voluntary groups. Sponsors are responsible for improving the performance of their schools.
