In 2018, researchers from the UCL Institute of Education reported no positive impact on the attainment and progress of pupils in MATs compared to non-MAT schools. In larger MATs, with more than 16 schools, particularly secondary schools, the results were worse. Inusb 2018, the Education Policy Institute, looking at key stages 2 and 4, found academy chains were disproportionately represented among the worst groups of primary schools, with 12 in the bottom 20.
