The rationale for the creation and growth of MATs is to deliver better outcomes for students whilst improving economy and efficiency.  This module looks at how this can be achieved, recognising that different schools have different starting points and that governance and structures need to evolve to be effective in a changing strategic context.

  • Structure and objectives for MATs.
  • Improvement journeys.
  • Authority and responsibility.
  • Accountability.
  • Focus, investment and performance management.
