CJK webinar 

Overview

As the education sector continues to evolve, many SATs and smaller trusts are exploring merger and growth as a way to strengthen sustainability, improve outcomes for pupils, and create broader opportunities for staff. We’ll explore when joining a larger trust makes sense, the strategic choices available in the current landscape, and the practical considerations involved in merging well — including a real-life case study from a trust that has taken this path.
