APSEND MAT CEOs National Network

The APSEND National Network for MAT CEOs was formed in 2019 to create a supportive forum for the leaders of specialist Multi Academy Trusts (MATs), whilst also providing a collective voice and strategic representation for the sector. The membership is currently comprised of around 50 CEOs, who represent a variety of specialist (and mixed) MATs from across the country. The main focus of the network is to: • Provide support to members on an ongoing basis. • Strive to be a strong collective voice for the specialist sector. • Work strategically and proactively with national bodies such as the DfE, Ofsted and the ESFA to provide ‘real time’ sector perspectives when required.
