Delta Academies Trust (formerly Schools Partnership Trust Academies) is a multi-academy trust, operating 57 schools.[1] As an academy trust, it is an exempt charity regulated by the Department for Education.[2]
A critical report from Ofsted in early 2016 prompted reforms at Schools Partnership Trust Academies. A new CEO—Paul Tarn, formerly deputy CEO of Outwood Grange Academies Trust (OGAT)—was appointed; he was joined by a Maths and English Director who transferred to Delta shortly after the CEO took up post.[4] It went on to rebrand as "Delta Academies Trust" as of October 2016.[5]
Delta operated the former Dawes Lane Academy, a 3–19 free school in Scunthorpe, before its closure in 2015.[6] The school had only opened a year previously, but encountered difficulties with pupil numbers and securing a permanent site.[7]
