The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) are responsible for investigating complaints about academies. Over the academic years 2019/20 and 2020/21, one complaint has been submitted to the ESFA about a school in the Pioneer Academy Trust.

The ESFA was satisfied that the academy was compliant with statutory policies and procedures and therefore the complaint was not upheld.
