Calling all MATs
The functioning of multi-academy trusts (MATs) in England
(Data Protection Number: Z6364106/2022/12/33).
I have, since 2017, been exploring the way in which multi-academy trusts operate.? To date, I have presented papers at five international conferences, written an online briefing note for the UCL Centre for Educational Leadership (CEL) and in the last year published two papers in peer reviewed journals.? I have now developed a questionnaire which I would like to distribute to MATs in the Autumn term of 2023-24.?
The purpose of this research is to investigate how MATs function and, in particular, the relationships between members, trustees, trust employees and local governing committees.? ?This survey is not externally funded and forms part of my personal research activity as an academic member of staff at the IOE - UCL's Faculty of Education and Society .? Data gathered will be used in two ways: to provide direct feedback to the trust and to inform the academic world of the functioning of MATs from the eyes of participant employees and school governors.
If your MAT is willing to take part you will get a report on survey findings that should inform the trust as to how they are perceived by the people who work within it. Please feel free to contact me either here or via email: [email protected]
