News Building a Successful Trust – Carol Dewhurst shares the lessons learned in an evolving MAT, as it celebrates its tenth anniversary
Our CEO Carol Dewhurst celebrates the 10th anniversary of BDAT and reflects on what she’s learned whilst working in an evolving MAT. She goes into detail about ‘five key ingredients’ that have helped ‘drive improvement and innovation within the trust’.
“As the leader of a Trust, I have witnessed first-hand how developing a family of schools can add direct value to the education and experiences of young people. Local partnerships had been happening long before the first academy trust opened its doors, but the beauty of the Trust model is that it formalises this collaboration and builds extra capacity through the power of a central team.”
