The government has now set out a vision in the recent Schools Whitepaper that “all schools will be part of strong trusts by 2030”, either part of one or in the process of joining.

Northern schools have a unique set of challenges, and we recognise there has been concern surrounding the agenda of transitioning into MAT’s.

The “Northern ‘transition to trust’ forum” will be an inclusive environment to raise questions, concerns and ideas on the ‘transition to trust’ outlook. We hope by facilitating an event that doesn’t ‘agenda push’ will help to alleviate some of the worry whilst providing answers to any questions you may have.

“The Northern ‘transition to trust’ forum”, is in collaboration with the Multi Academy Trust Association (MATA), an independent, free to join organisation which impartially supports schools and trusts through this journey.

This in-person conference is designed for: maintained schools, academies, SAT leaders and MAT Leaders.

Join us at The ‘Transition to Trust’ North Forum 2023 taking place on the 11th May in Manchester and catch Al Kingsley’s speaker session on planning for growth, where he’ll discuss topics such as thinking from a governance and strategic perspective on the opportunities and challenges for growth within your schools and Multi-Academy Trusts. Al will talk through a checklist of things to consider, questions to ask and share examples from other Trusts.
