Empowering education: Strategic planning and focus for the next academic year

Join our education experts at our Newton Aycliffe office for an exclusive 'School Leaders breakfast' roundtable series, where we invite you to share your insights and contribute your experiences over coffee and breakfast. Our final in-person roundtable of the series will focus on strategic planning and focus for the next academic year. 

This session will offer the latest education updates and insights, as well as:

🔍 Exploring the theme of ‘Better Together – the MAT Dividend’

🤝 Considering the MAT landscape in the North – geography and partnerships

📚 Lessons learned from the sector on trust growth and strong MATs

🌍 Key national and local factors to consider in planning for trust development in the next academic year.

These complimentary events, hosted by our EPM team, will bring together valuable experience and education sector expertise to provide informative discussion forums during the coming months. 

Please note: delegate numbers are capped at 20 for the best possible learning opportunities and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

We understand how tough the current climate can be with budgets continually being squeezed and the education landscape continuously changing. Therefore, it's more important than ever that we have a community and sounding board for school leaders to share their learnings and challenges in a safe space.

Don't miss your chance to join sector colleagues, hear from industry experts, and enjoy a fantastic networking opportunity (with the added benefit of refreshments).
