Expanding your MAT - London

Expanding your MAT: Understanding Your Strategic Options and The Legal Framework.

This session is specifically designed for single academies and multi academy trust (MATs) who are considering their strategic options.

We will start with a look at the political and educational landscape and the legislation that is on the horizon which is likely to shape the options for academies. We will then explore the different strategic options and structural models which may support your strategic plan. This will be brought to life through the presentations by our external speakers with MAT experience.

The session will also highlight for delegates some of the challenges and opportunities that rationalisation & efficiency create.

Topics

• Setting the scene - the educational and legal landscape
• Driving efficiencies through staff structures
• Effective governance
• Due diligence - look before you leap
• New services from VWV to support you as you grow
