Jan Dunne, CoG and Caroline Pluck answered.
Governors have been considering joining a MAT for many years. A lot of time and research has gone into the proposed conversion and we feel that the Wessex MAT is the best option for our school and community, especially as it’s ethos and values are very similar to our own.
