Welcome to our 2024 Academies Benchmarking Report, this year analysing the 2022/23 financial data of a mix of MATs, secondary academies and primary academies.
We have also drilled down further into the MAT data to analyse different sizes of MAT. Our 2023 Report revealed that a significant majority of academies of all types reported a surplus on core General Annual Grant (GAG) funds in 2021/22, and 72% of trusts had positive movement in overall revenue funds. The picture this year is very different, something we did predict last year.
This year our benchmarking report once again covers over 1,450 academies, with the sample including a mix of our own clients plus some of the largest MATs that are non-UHY clients, as in previous years, to ensure we cover all areas of the country and improve the data set.
