Our inaugural MAT Excellence Awards are fast approaching. We spoke to some of our judges who told us the three things they’re most looking forward to at the event.
The first Optimus Education MAT Excellence Awards take place on Thursday 29 June in London. The event will give trusts the opportunity to celebrate their achievements and recognise their impact on pupils, staff, and the community.
With 12 categories including community trust of the year, MAT of the year and wellbeing trust of the year, there’s lots of exciting work to celebrate. We caught up with some of our judging panel to find out what they’re most looking forward to on the night.
