Expanding multi-academy trusts
Ensuring compatibility, safeguarding success, and mitigating risks
The government has made it clear that its preference is for the expansion of Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) and for converter schools to join existing MATs.
It’s no surprise that the MAT structure is now the most widely adopted, as it offers significant potential to improve educational quality, deliver economies of scale, and foster school-to-school support.
However, with such growth comes the responsibility to ensure that the successes and achievements of your trust are safeguarded. It’s vital to make sure that the culture and ethos of all schools involved are compatible.
While some combinations may inevitably not work despite best efforts, carrying out thorough and effective due diligence can help mitigate the risks.
