Part 9: Secure Children’s Homes and Secure 16 to 19 Academies Section 164: Secure 16 to 19 academies
Subsection (1) amends section 1B of the Academies Act 2010 (16 to 19 Academies), to clarify that 16 to 19 academies can provide secure accommodation for the purpose of restricting liberty but only if approved to do so by the Secretary of State. A 16 to 19 academy which provides secure accommodation is to be known as a "secure 16 to 19 academy".
	Subsection (2) amends section 12 of the Academies Act 2010 (charitable and trust corporation status of Academy Proprietors, etc.) to make express provision that the setting up, establishment and running of a secure 16 to 19 Academy is to be treated as a charitable purpose, within the meaning of section 2 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the 2011 Act"), falling within the advancement of education description of purposes. The effect is that preparatory steps, and the establishment and running of a secure 16 to 19 academy will be charitable for the purposes of the Academies Act, so that they fall within the definition of QAPs, and for the purposes of any other enactment.
	New section 12(6) clarifies that this charitable purpose is to be disregarded in determining whether other purposes may be charitable by virtue of being regarded as analogous in accordance with section 3(1)(m) of the 2011 Act.
	Subsection (3) inserts secure 16 to 19 academies into the definition of youth detention accommodation in section 248 of the Code so that a person detained following a detention and training order made by a court may be placed within a secure 16 to 19 academy. Subsection (4) makes amendments to the Children’s Homes (England) Regulations 2015 so as to apply the provisions of those Regulations to secure 16 to 19 academies.
