Overview

The Academy Conversion Process Course will detail all the actions that make for a successful conversion.

This unique training session will cover not just the legal activities required to become an academy but also the aspects of due diligence, external support, the governance requirements and statutory requirements that frequently go unnoticed. The work involved in an academy conversion should never be underestimated and this course will better prepare schools for what is now an expectation – a fully academised system.

The outcome of this session is to understand the conversion process better which will allow a school to plan for the capacity that is needed to convert without impacting on day to day school commitments. 

Most schools underestimate the work involved in an academy conversion and start to react rather than proactively plan for the actions required to convert.
This session will give schools a better understanding of the process, time commitment, documents entered into and required infrastructure of creating a Multi Academy Trust.

The building of the Trust and the people part are the actual start of an academy conversion journey and this session will explain what this looks like before the formal part of the conversion. This joined up approach takes concern away from the schools so the school can focus on Teaching & Learning.

Most schools go straight to the legal element when in actual fact, the legal process is the final part of the journey…

Testimonials

Thank you once again for allowing us to exhibit and present directly in the afternoon to the MATs attending. I know it was a lovely day but weather aside it felt wonderful to be back face to face and your conference was so friendly and inviting. I could see the hard work everyone was doing to make it so successful

Department For Education

“the whole event was really well organised and the choice of speakers and the range of topics were of excellent quality.
As a supplier, it was great to gain insight to understand the issues and concerns when considering growing or merging MATs, where the priorities are focused and the key learnings for those CEOs who have gone through the journey.
I would recommend attending a future Convenzis conference or event, as the quality was first class.”

Education Buying

The National MAT Conference was a great first show for us and produced a number of quality lead opportunities.

Quality of the attendees/delegates was great. The Convenzis team were professional and approachable throughout, and special thanks to Daniel for helping us swap stand positions to incorporate the SMART IFP.

Conversations with the MAT delegates who attended our stand on the day were positive and it was good to understand where they were currently in their Digital transformation journey post-pandemic.

A really positive great show. Our partner, Elementary Technology Ltd, also concurred that the quality of the delegates that attended were the right people and those key decision-makers.
