Abstract

This commentary outlines the views of a current head teacher after receiving increased marketing and persuasive letters from multi-academy trust (MAT) chief executive officers (CEOs) in an attempt to expand their MATs. Following the Department for Education’s academisation programme, which aims to convert all schools in England to MATs by 2030, this reflection highlights the implications of the programme and reflects, from an insider’s perspective, on the author's concerns about this approach for the communities, which will lose local leaders with autonomy and see them replaced with CEOs who have multiple interests, other than those of the local schools.

这篇评论概述了一位现任校长的观点，他收到了来自多学院信托（MAT）首席执行官（CEO）的越来越多的营销和说服信，试图扩大他们的MAT。根据教育部的学术化计划，该计划旨在到2030年将英格兰的所有学校转变为MAT，这一反思强调了该计划的影响，并从内部人士的角度反映了作者对这种方法对社区的担忧，这将失去拥有自主权的地方领导人，取而代之的是除当地学校外拥有多种利益的首席执行官。
