"EPM has been invaluable in considering whether to form a MAT between our group of schools. Having them as an experienced, impartial party helping us navigate the process has been extremely helpful as they already know the tough questions we should be anticipating, and asking ourselves, as well as the challenges to expect based on the academy projects they have and are currently supporting"
