The Kemnal Academies Trust, or TKAT, runs over 40 Primary and Secondary Schools, making it one of the largest state-funded, independent academy school chains in the South of England. It has faced critical reports from the regulator Ofsted following investigations.

In 2016 it was described as one of 11 ‘system leader’ academy chains in England.[1]

Controversy

TKAT removed almost two thirds of the headteachers at its schools within weeks of taking over, according to a 2014 report.[2]

Consultants

  • Deloitte. It was reported in September 2015 that Deloitte had undertaken a review for TKAT, which advocated that the chain grow slowly.[3]
