How KNGS secured capital funding with the help of Every Compliance

Join us as we look at what makes school capital funding applications successful with Clare Skinner, Business Manager at Kings Norton Girls’ School.

In 2025, KNGS will become an academy school within WMAT, a new multi-academy trust (West Midlands Academy Trust).

Earlier this year, KNGS received just short of £700k from the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) for an urgent site rebuild – and we’ll be finding out what made the bid a success!

Since 2022, the school has used our compliance software, Every Compliance, for numerous estate activities, like logging and tracking reactive maintenance requests. Clare turned this trail of maintenance into evidence to support KNGS’s application for CIF.

Find out what this involved by joining the session!

How to boost confidence in compliance across your MAT

The list of what your staff and sites must be compliant with is long. And it’s only growing, particularly for MATs that are expanding and taking on more academies (or hoping to, soon).

Join us to look at a fresh approach to compliance management, whether that’s how you log risks and incidents or feeling confident that all staff have read KCSIE 2024-2025.

We’ll show you how your MAT could benefit from our compliance management tool, Every Compliance!

Contracts & contractors: How MATs can achieve economies of scale

Growing MATs and ongoing budget tightness is making it difficult for central teams to decide where funds need prioritising – and where it can come from.

Effective contract and contractor management is a prime opportunity for MATs to spot ways to create economies of scale and end contracts that are draining the bank, offering no financial reward.

Join Stephen for a half an hour webinar that explores tangible ways you can save and get best value for money with your MAT’s contracts.

What’s the real cost of staff absences to your MAT or school?
