How we work

APi will work with you to establish what level of expertise you require, based on your needs and school structure. This will involve determining your current status and situation, an assessment of your finances and other legalities, a review of your accountability processes, performance etc. The findings will be published in a detailed report, following an audit.

This will propose a series of recommendations, provide a framework for implementation and suggest various ways of improving and monitoring your future management systems. By identifying priorities and joining all components of successful business strategy together we enable education providers to ensure efficiency and investment by putting pupils and students first.
We can provide expert support in all areas of education and business provision through a process based upon the 4MAT performance canvas and through Advanced Procurement initiative - APi.

Practical recommendations, logical thinking
and better outcomes for your community

We can assist at any stage of the academy process, whether you are an established MAT looking to secure economies of scale, wish to empower and train incoming management if you are soon to become a multi-academy trust, or to simply assess how you can do things better in your own school or academy.
