What is a Multi-Academy Trust? (MAT)

A MAT is a group of schools which form a legal entity with a single set of directors / trustees under which they operate collaboratively.  The group of schools which form the MAT share a common ethos and vision. There are a variety of MATs across the country – some are made up just of primary schools, some are just made up of faith schools (Church of England or Catholic). The West Lakes Multi-Academy Trust is made up of both primary and secondary schools and may also include other more specialist schools.
