Where this list came from
The source, and how we filtered it
| Source | Get Information About Schools: academy trusts and academy membership, Department for Education (2026-11-02 (allgroupsdata20261102.csv, academiesmatmembership20261102.csv)) |
|---|---|
| License | Open Government Licence v3.0. Wikidata is CC0. |
| Cite as | Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. |
| How we filtered it | Groups with Group Type 'Multi-academy trust' and Group Status 'Open', kept when at least 2 academies with status Open or 'Open, but proposed to close' belong to them in the membership file (1,203 of 1,317). source_id is the GIAS group id (TR…). GIAS records no trust website, so the website is Wikidata P856 on the item carrying the trust's Companies House number (P2622), used only when one host answers. Nothing is taken from member schools' websites. |
| Instead of | A trust's website taken from its schools' websites, which would be a guess. |
| Built | 2026-11-02 |
The filtering is ours and is disclosed as ours. The source published a list; the decision about which rows of it belong in a cohort was a judgment call, and it is written down so somebody can disagree with it.

By dimension
What the cohort earns, dimension by dimension
The mean share of each dimension’s available points that this cohort earned. Low here means the whole sector is weak on it, not that one site dragged an average down. The per-site spread is in the dataset.
| Dimension | Mean share earned | Mean |
|---|---|---|
| #1 · Reach
These parameters determine the fundamental ease of access that AI has to your site information. |
80% | |
| #2 · Read
AI generally turns off JavaScript. Does your site information survive without it? |
55% | |
| #3 · Understand
Does a machine know who and what you are? |
27% | |
| #4 · Act
Sitemaps, redirects, 404s, licensing terms, and not wasting the crawl budget. |

How much of each site we read
The cap is 32 URLs and it is a ceiling, not a promise. A portal whose every link points at a different host yields one page; a university yields the full sample. The median here is 32, the range 1–32, published so that "we sampled 32 URLs per site" cannot become a claim the data does not support.
3 sites in this cohort served a certificate we could not verify. They were read anyway and scored normally, because reporting no response for a site every browser loads would describe our TLS stack rather than the site, and each one carries the finding in its row.

Every site
Every 1,203, named, with a report for each
Whether or not it has been scanned. Rows with no website on record, sites that were unreachable and sites that turned us away stay in the table with the reason on them, and none of them enters an average: dropping them would shrink the population to the part that was easy to measure. A few points between two neighbors is noise. The box filters every row in the cohort, not only the page you are on; click a header to sort the rows on this page by name or by score.
