Navigating MAT Growth: Opportunities, Risks, and Strategic Decisions for Trust Boards
Whether to grow your trust, when to grow it, and how to grow it, are some of the biggest decisions trust boards need to make. There are both opportunities and potential risks involved in adding more schools to your trust.
In this webinar, 海角社区 trust specialist Michael Barton joins Deputy CEO Sam Henson to discuss the pros and cons of MAT growth, the options and considerations, from the due diligence of adding one school through to talks on mergers of established trusts.
Join us as we explore all things MAT growth, including discussing the relevant findings from this year鈥檚 governance survey. 聽
