As of 1 February 2013 there are 2673 academies open in England. These academies are listed on the DfE website which is updated once a month.

The location of open academies can also be seen on their academies map where you can click into areas and then view details for each academy.

Their publications spreadsheet, also available to download, shows details of schools which have formally applied for academy status and progress towards conversion, including all academies that have opened in the academic years 2011/12 and 2012/13.  This information will also be updated monthly as more academies open.
