From April 2019, academy trusts with 250 or more staff will be required to report the number of people they employed as new apprentices between April 2018 and March 2019.
The requirement comes after changes to the public sector apprenticeship target regulations, which originally exempted charities (and, therefore, academy trusts).
The regulations, introduced by the government in April 2017, require public bodies with 250 or more staff to aim to employ at least 2.3% of their headcount in England as new apprentices between April 2017 and March 2021
