A leader who kept staff onside while implementing the sometimes controversial process of pooling funding across an academy trust’s schools has won a MAT finance award.
The winners of the MAT Finance Awards 2022, set up to celebrate and showcase the work of school finance professionals, were announced today.
Judges included Leora Cruddas, the chief executive of the Confederation of School Trusts, and Stephen Morales, who leads the Institute of School and Business Leaders.
Will Jordan, co-founder of IMP Software, which supported the awards, said judges were “blown away by the quality of entries”. He added MAT finance teams were “critical for supporting expansion and sustainability in the sector going forward”.
