Perfect for: MAT CEOs, COOs, CFOs, and other Central Team staff

Speakers: Chris Foley, CEO, St Teresa's of Calcutta

Despite the government shelving the Schools Bill in 2022, growth is still the priority for many trusts. Many, in fact, are relying on said growth in order to operate sustainably in the cost-of-living crisis.

But as individual schools join your trust, there's an art to making sure that students and staff alike are onboarded properly. In fact, how you onboard your schools is a crucial part of your growth strategy. 

In this fireside chat, you'll hear how one MAT leader has successfully onboarded schools to his trust, while managing the tensions that come with the territory, such as:

-Whether to lean towards centralisation and autonomy
-How to manage expectations, communicate change and prioritise staff wellbeing
-Thinking about the differences between onboarding vulnerable and over-performing schools

We look forward to seeing you there!
