The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jess Phillips on 2016-05-20.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the Answer of 11 May 2016 to Question 35798, on Academies Sponsorship, how many of the re-brokered schools in each year since 2010 had been graded inadequate by Ofsted.

Edward Timpson

60 of the 130 academies and free schools that have been re-brokered since 2010 had been graded inadequate by Ofsted.

The remaining academies and free schools were re-brokered because Regional Schools Commissioners identified weaknesses in those schools that could be better addressed by a new sponsor.
