Operational benchmarking allows multi-academy trusts to gain a clear, comparative perspective, enabling them to assess their operational and strategic practices alongside other trusts working in similar contexts. Through this comparison, trusts gain valuable insights that inform planning, drive improvement, and ultimately enhance outcomes for students and staff alike.
In a climate of rising pressures and limited funding, multi-academy trusts need access to meaningful, comparative data. Benchmarking creates clarity – helping trust leaders understand where they are performing well and where there may be gaps or inefficiencies. It allows leaders to move from assumptions to evidence, using data to support resource planning, strategic investment, and operational development.
This scheme offers multi-academy trusts a powerful tool to refine their operations through focused comparisons with peers. By analysing performance across central management, technology, human resources, and financial management, school leaders can gauge their alignment with sector standards and best practices.
