I’m delighted to be working on this project for Red Kite Connect with our partners at TransforMATive and Civica. Thanks to James Rant for his leadership at today’s workshop and all the CFOs taking part.
🚀 Excitement is building for the first TransforMATive Tribe CFO Workshop! 🚀 This unique gathering of Chief Financial Officers from 13 Multi-Academy Trusts—representing over 150 schools and 50,000 students—marks a powerful step forward in redefining financial sustainability and operational efficiency in education. The session is designed to unite CFOs, bringing their collective expertise and shared challenges to the table to identify common problem statements, develop innovative solutions, and share recipes for success. This isn’t just another meeting; it's a chance to spark meaningful dialogue, inspire action, and make a tangible difference across the education sector. With support from partners like Red Kite Connect and Civica, and guided by insights from the 2024 National School Trust Survey Report, we’re committed to fostering a culture of collaboration and impact. Looking forward to an incredible workshop and the start of something transformative! #EducationTransformation #TransforMATiveTribe #MATs #EducationFinance #Collaboration
