Academies Act 2010

Academies: other provisions

Section 9:  Impact: additional schools

30.This section requires the Secretary of State, when deciding whether to enter into Academy arrangements in relation to an additional school, to take into account the impact of the additional school on the existing maintained schools, Academies and further education institutions in the area where the new school is proposed to be situated.

31.An ‘additional school’ is a school which does not replace a maintained school and is not subject to an Academy order under section 4 (see subsection (3)). And if the Academy provides education for pupils of a wider range of ages than the previous maintained school, it is to be treated as not replacing a maintained school (see subsection (4)).
