Logan Hall

We know that suspensions and absences disrupt learning and disproportionately affect the most vulnerable pupils.

This session brings together Wesley Davies, CEO of the Two Counties Trust, and Andy Burns, Director of Education at Brooke Weston Trust, to share strategies that drive system-wide improvements.

Hosted by Adam Alagiah-Glomseth, Investment Director at Impetus, the discussion will explore how Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) can create cohesive approaches to reduce exclusions and improve attendance across schools.

Join us as we rethink how MATs tackle these critical challenges at scale.
