There are many reasons why as an existing multi academy trust (MAT) may be looking to adopt further schools. Whether the reason is to benefit from economies of scale, combined leadership or because the Department of Education has encouraged you to adopt a struggling school, we have the experience and expertise to assist you.
The legal process depends on whether you are taking on an existing academy or the school being adopted is converting to an academy during the process of joining your MAT.
For an existing academy trust to join a multi academy trust a formal legal process needs to be followed.
This process involves:
With the above complete, the single academy joins the MAT and the single academy company can then be wound up and the trustees/directors can resign their positions.
If a school joining an MAT has not yet converted to academy status, then it will convert as part of the process of joining your MAT.
We are able to work to a fixed fee for peace of mind and value.
