Multi-Academy Trusts

A Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) is an organization that oversees and manages multiple academy schools under a single governing body. Instead of each school operating independently, the trust provides shared leadership, resources, and support to improve educational standards across all its schools. This structure allows for collaboration, consistency, and efficiency, enabling schools to benefit from collective expertise and bulk purchasing. While each school retains its identity, they all work together within the trust’s framework to pursue common educational goals.
