As a multi-academy trust, Star Academies is an exempt charity regulated by the Department for Education.[4]
In 2019, concerns about the performance of Highfield Leadership Academy led the DfE to issue a "minded to terminate" letter to the trust, suggesting that they might remove the trust's funding for this school.[5][6]
The trust's change of name followed its change of focus; it had originally only been responsible for Islamic schools, but expanded to secular schools.[7][8]
In 2022, the school was planning to open additional free schools in the north of England in partnership with Eton College.[9] In 2024, the government said they would pause and review these proposals.[10]
