Aim:  This webinar provides you with practical guidance on managing a multi-academy trust (MAT) merger, from planning through implementation to integration. It identifies key considerations based on real-life experience, to help you avoid pitfalls and smooth the merger process.

Rationale: As more and more schools join, or consider joining MATs in fulfilment of the government’s 2030 ambition, MATs are also considering how they can continue to best serve pupils. This may involve merging with another MAT into one distinct legal entity, which the DfE suggests in its guidance, ‘Building strong academy trusts’, “can effect greater change across the area”.
