The 3 elements of a MAT improvement framework
Understand how to build a school improvement framework that takes into account:
- ‘Top-down’ improvement, i.e built and dictated by the MAT
- ‘Bottom-up’ improvement, where the learnings of each academy feed into the improvement model
- ‘Peer-to-peer’ improvement, to account for where academies can share resources and knowledge
We look at each of these elements below.

Create an education vision
Your framework should centre around a shared vision of what makes a great education.
For example, your MAT may choose to prioritise:
- Pupil mastery of core skills
- A knowledge-rich curriculum
- Social mobility and routes to higher education and high-quality vocational learning
- Creativity
- Developing character, wellbeing and resilience
