Delta Academies Trust


Delta Academies Trust is a multi-academy trust, operating 57 schools. As an academy trust, it is an exempt charity regulated by the Department for Education.
Its current CEO is Andy Barnett.
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 —was appointed; he was joined by a Maths and English Director who transferred to Delta shortly after the CEO took up post. It went on to rebrand as "Delta Academies Trust" as of October 2016.

The Grove Academy, Harrogate was a part of the trust until being transferred to Wellspring Academy Trust in 2020.
