Multi Academy Trust Software Can Help Bring Your Schools Closer
Building community spirit in any school is challenging, but even more so in a MAT. Each school has a unique identity, often its greatest asset. As a MAT leader, you aim to create a shared ethos across all schools in the trust. Multi-academy trust software streamlines communication and unifies your vision.
Headteachers foster strong relationships by personally engaging with pupils, parents, and staff. MAT leaders, however, must communicate their vision and values from a distance, requiring a strategic approach. Multi-academy trust software allows leaders to maintain personal connections while efficiently delivering a consistent message across multiple schools.
Maintaining the personal touch remains crucial, as MATs often face criticism for lacking individuality or creativity. A multi-academy trust software provides the perfect tool to instil your vision and expectations across the trust while supporting the unique communities within each school.
Taking a standardised approach to communication
If you standardise uniform, assessment, and behaviour policies within your MAT, extend this consistency to your communication strategy. Effective communication drives any successful school improvement plan. A multi-academy trust app streamlines communications across your MAT without losing efficiency.
Ensure that the information on your school websites stays updated. Instead of relying on parents to check the site, use your multi-academy trust app to send unlimited push notifications for free. This keeps parents informed without costly letters or text messages.
“Sending unlimited notifications nearly eliminates missed communication,” says Ryan Jones, Assistant Headteacher. Relying on this tool ensures strong, seamless communication across all schools in your MAT.
Regularly sharing news and photos
How do you currently share news across your MAT? If you rely on a termly newsletter, consider the costs and effectiveness. Does it actually get read? Instead, share weekly updates through your school app, allowing you to redirect funds into teaching and learning.
Regular news sharing reinforces that your MAT operates as a unified community and encourages schools to engage with each other more often. Your multi-academy trust app lets you instantly share photos, videos, and news at the touch of a button, completely free.
If your MAT has a strong sports culture, the app provides an easy way to share fixture updates and scores. For schools with performance traditions, it’s the perfect tool to promote shows and share photos or videos.
Sharing successes across schools boosts pupils’ and staff’s sense of achievement and belonging. You can also use the app to coordinate MAT-wide events, bringing all schools together efficiently.
If you offer cross-school clubs or trips, the app simplifies communication. Targeted messages ensure users only receive notifications relevant to them.
A dedicated app for CPD
Do you bring schools in your MAT together for INSET days? Whole MAT INSET days offer an inspiring opportunity to reinforce your values, expectations, and vision. However, how long does the impact last on teaching and learning?
Teachers excel when they share best practices, and a key advantage of being part of a MAT is access to a broader community of excellent educators. You can use a dedicated app for CPD to unite this community.
Share videos of best practices, useful documents, and resources for staff to instantly access on their mobile or tablet. Create specific groups so staff only receive relevant CPD information. Additionally, send notifications to all MAT staff with important updates, like calendar changes, curriculum updates, or exam information.
