Edtech for multi-academy trusts

Optimising your technology strategy across each of your schools

Scaling out your edtech across multiple schools can be a complex challenge.

We work with you to explore exactly how your MAT can make the most of its educational technology. Alongside facilitating edtech that improves learning outcomes, we can support you in allowing for effective change management across your trust.

Through consultancy and leadership training, your MAT will be able to benefit from a robust edtech strategy which can be rolled out across schools of all types, ensuring a joined-up approach.

Case study: The Staffordshire Schools Multi Academy Trust

The Staffordshire Schools Multi Academy Trust wanted to improve collaboration across their schools for planning and administration, ultimately moving to a 1:1 device strategy for KS2. We are working with them as a part of their strategic team to transform the way they operate. The first phase was to implement Google Drive, Gmail and Calendar across the trust for staff.

How edtech supports MAT learning and teaching

Connected learning

As a MAT, you may be exploring how your edtech can enable you to share resources and information effectively, both within each school and across the trust. Edtech can help MATs to:

  • Store and share data securely via cloud services
  • Communicate more effectively with schools across the trust
  • Set work for pupils and students virtually.

We support MATs in developing a joined-up edtech strategy that allows for more efficient learning and teaching.

Maintaining excellence

Edtech can be a powerful tool for improving the learning experience of students and pupils. From facilitating creative learning to streamlining admin, the right edtech can improve learning experience and boost attainment.

When edtech is allowing for efficient data sharing, MAT Leadership are in a better position to monitor achievement and effectively manage change across the trust.

Scaling out edtech across multiple schools

What’s the challenge?

Implementing an effective edtech strategy is challenging enough within a single school. As a MAT, you may be looking to roll out edtech across multiple schools, each with its own individual objectives, teaching staff, students, and curriculum.

How do we help?

One of the ways Satori Education supports MATs in making the most of their edtech is through dedicated specialist consultancy.

  • We work with CEOs and MAT Leadership to outline what needs to be achieved and how existing edtech can be optimised.
  • You’ll receive expert insight and strategic guidance on how you can effectively roll out new edtech to each school within your trust.
  • Together, we’ll explore solutions for effectively seeding change in schools through CPD and mentoring.

Facilitating effective change management

What’s the challenge?

Implementing change across multiple schools, dozens of classrooms, and potentially hundreds of staff members is a big challenge. Each school may have their own approach to teaching, management, and professional development and staff may be resistant to change that’s implemented without their understanding or buy-in.

How do we help? 

Effective change management is absolutely critical to our approach when it comes to edtech. We work with you to develop a robust edtech strategy, where change is led wherever possible by edtech champions within each school.

Our training programme provides individual edtech leads with the technical insight, leadership skills, and strategic knowledge to make the most of your edtech.

This ensures that change occurs from the ground up, with edtech leaders mentoring their colleagues, troubleshooting issues, and bringing everyone on board from day one.

Optimising the use of cloud services

What’s the challenge?

Technology should be making teaching and learning easier and more connected. But when each school has their own server, it’s tough to share resources and information or for MAT Leadership to access individual servers.

Similarly, if one school uses Microsoft365 and another uses Google Workspace, edtech can feel more like a barrier to efficient administration and teaching.

How do we help?

As your edtech consultant and leadership specialist, we help you to develop the technical knowledge and strategic insight to outline and solve your own cloud service challenges.

  • Together, we explore how you can optimise your cloud service or how you might migrate schools onto a single server with minimal disruption.
  • As Google and Microsoft 365 specialists, we can work with you to identify which works for you or where your systems could be better integrated.
  • We can help you broker training to ensure everyone – from teachers to administrators – can use cloud services successfully and safely.
