Multi Academy Trust

We have designed our MAT membership package to provide support to trust boards and their academies. As a trust, you will benefit from a range of resources and guidance to assist you in ensuring good governance across your MAT.

As part of your MAT membership package, your trust board will receive:

• Unlimited access for your trust board to our GOLDline advice service, which offers independent and confidential advice on strategic, procedural and legal information about governance including advice on any of the schools within the MAT
• A copy of  Governing Matters magazine sent to every member of the trust board
• A weekly e-newsletter featuring the latest education news and policy updates sent to every member
• Full access to members’ only content in our online knowledge centre
• A complimentary copy of both The Chair’s Handbook and Welcome to a Multi Academy Trust to the trust
• A complimentary copy of Welcome to a Multi Academy Trust to additional members joining during the course of your subscription
• Three free places at NGA conferences and events and one free place at each of our MAT conferences and events. Hear from high-profile speakers, network and share best practice.
