A critical report from Ofsted in early 2016 prompted reforms at Schools Partnership Trust Academies. A new CEO—Paul Tarn, formerly deputy CEO of Outwood Grange Academies Trust (OGAT)—was appointed; he was joined by a Maths and English Director who transferred to Delta shortly after the CEO took up post.{{cite news|last1=Dickens|first1=John|title=Outwood Grange chief: 'No takeover of School Partnership Trust expected'|url=https://schoolsweek.co.uk/outwood-grange-chief-no-takeover-of-school-partnership-trust-expected/|accessdate=19 February 2017|work=Schools Week|date=21 March 2016}} It went on to rebrand as "Delta Academies Trust" as of October 2016.{{cite news|last1=Roberts|first1=John|title=Major Yorkshire schools chain rebrands itself as Delta Academies as part of drive to improve|url=http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/education/major-yorkshire-schools-chain-rebrands-itself-as-delta-academies-as-part-of-drive-to-improve-1-8143487|accessdate=19 February 2017|work=Yorkshire Evening Post|publisher=Johnston Publishing|date=25 September 2016|language=en}}
