Academy trusts
465 trusts run 2,140 of England's state secondaries between them. Each page lists the schools a trust runs, how they came into it and who they take, so the figures can be read against something.
Trusts running a single secondary are not listed. That page would show one school and repeat its figures, which its own report already does. Counts are secondaries only; a trust may also run primaries and special schools. Nothing here ranks trusts against each other: the measure that would allow for who a school takes in is not published for 2024/25.
