‘Merging Trusts for Sustainable Growth’ Webinar

Despite COVID-19, the government is likely to pursue its ambition for Trusts to grow and strengthen. Earlier this year, we published 'Sustainable growth for multi-academy Trusts' and the research report prompted discussion around the role of mergers to enable growth.

PrimarySite, market leaders in education websites, are delighted to offer a free webinar on this topic. ‘Merging for sustainable growth – the challenges and opportunities’ on Thursday 26th November from 1pm to 2.30pm. The webinar will provide an insight into how MAT leaders are practically managing successful mergers and provide advice on key areas to consider.

We are delighted that Stephen Morales, CEO of the Institute of School Business Leadership (ISBL), will give the keynote and share his thinking on how mergers can help Trusts to grow.

This will be followed by a case study from Nick Osborne, CEO Maritime Academy Trust, who this year has undertaken a merger with Barnsole Primary Trust. The merger has created a great opportunity for the Trust to deepen collaboration between Schools and share central and School level expertise in the best possible way.

There will also be an expert panel including Sam Henson, Director of Policy and Research at the National Governance Association and Christine Quinn, Chair of Governors at Unity Schools Partnership in Suffolk, former Regional Schools Commissioner for the West Midlands and led a School Trust in Birmingham. As part of the panel discussion, participants will have an opportunity for questions.

The webinar is proving extremely popular and has limited places available to senior Trust leaders, so please register your interest today to secure your place.
