Answer
Prior to the creation of Regional Schools Commissioners (RSCs), academy sponsors were approved on a national basis. From 1 September 2014, RSCs have been approving sponsors to operate in their region, on behalf of the Secretary of State. However, approval is not broken down beyond regional level.
A list of nationally approved sponsors, which includes all sponsors that have been approved in England, is published here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/academy-sponsor-contact-list
