Abstract	Successive governments have promoted academy sponsorship as a way to improve the educational achievement of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. As the academies programme has developed, policymakers have increasingly seen academy chains (especially multi-academy trusts) as the best method for fostering professionalism, value for money and school-to-school collaboration -- and hence the best way of working to improve the performance of previously struggling schools and the educational outcomes of their often disadvantaged pupils. The authors review the outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in sponsored secondary school academies across a range of measures, including progress in English and mathematics, and the English Baccalaureate, in addition to the main measure of five good General Certificates of Secondary Education (GCSEs) or equivalents including English and mathematics. This is intended to reflect changes in performance measures introduced by the present Government, and the resulting change in emphasis in the league tables from 2016; as well as to ensure that chain performance is evaluated from a range of angles. They also review the findings of this report in comparison to those from the last two reports. Five appendices are included. [Foreword by Peter Lampl. To view the 2015 report, see ED559231.] (ERIC).
