Navigating the complexities of academy conversions, transfers and mergers can be challenging for schools and trusts. The specialist education team at VWV is here to support you through every stage, whether that involves joining a multi-academy trust (MAT) or exploring alternative collaborative models.
With the government’s vision outlined in the 'Every Child Achieving and Thriving' white paper, advocating for all schools to operate within MATs, now is the time to consider your strategic options. Whether you are exploring academy conversion, expanding your trust, or looking at other forms of collaboration, such as federations or partnerships, we offer tailored guidance to help you assess opportunities and plan for sustainable growth.
From establishing academy trusts to managing staff transfers, funding agreements, and land transactions, we ensure the process is smooth and compliant with legal and policy requirements. Our partner-led approach provides transparent fees and practical solutions, empowering you to make informed decisions that align with your goals and the government’s expectations.
To discuss your school or trust's needs, please contact Clare Benians, our Sector Coordinator at cbenians@vwv.co.uk to arrange a call or to receive further information.
