Professional Communities

Our Professional Leadership and Learning Communities (PLLC) are regional communities available exclusively to multi-academy trusts (MATs) within our partnership. They provide colleagues with the opportunity to learn collaboratively and advance their leadership skills and strategic thinking.

Supporting Executive Leaders

To support Executive MAT Leaders in refining their practice, we offer four sessions each year featuring expert speakers from education and beyond. These sessions are designed to facilitate group collaboration, fostering closer peer-to-peer relationships. Where relevant, we also welcome DfE-funded hub leaders to contribute subject-specific expertise, enriching the learning experience for all participants.
