Supporting Trusts

Across the UK, there are over 2,500 trusts - and we’re proud to support more than 150 of them, from single-academy trusts and small MATs managing two or three schools to larger trusts with 15 or more. We understand that no two trusts are the same. That’s why we offer tailored, scalable support for trusts of all sizes and unique journeys, including those guided by diocesan strategies and the vision of the bishop.

What Trusts Say About EPM

"With EPM's support, we are confident that we are consistent across the Trust and providing the same support across each school every month, for example, in rolling out pay scales. This saves us time in the long run as our Central Team can get involved less and save us money. Having been with EPM for a number of years, across two Trusts, EPM is definitely the best it's ever been...the service and support from EPM now is unbelievable, great value for money and cost-effective."

Nuala Cashell, CSEL, Our Lady of Grace Catholic Academy Trust

"The level of expert advice and guidance afforded to NPCAT over the last 18 months as we progressed our Trust expansion from 27 to 38 schools by yourself was truly remarkable. Your commitment, knowledge, patience and informed insight was invaluable. NPCAT as an organisation and our central team as officers have gained significantly from your highly detailed planning. I have no hesitation in advocating your work and celebrating the success which you have achieved in your role in support of NPCAT."

Hugh Hegarty, CEO, Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust

"A fabulous professional discussion around the current situation of our provision within academisation and gave some excellent points for reflection."

Iain Thomas, Headteacher, Foundry College
