National School Awards – MAT of the Year

Matrix Academy Trust shortlisted for MAT of the Year at National School Awards 2026

We are delighted to announce that Matrix Academy Trust has been shortlisted for the MAT of the Year Award at the National School Awards 2026!

This recognition is a fantastic achievement and a reflection of the dedication, commitment and hard work of colleagues across our entire Trust. From our schools and central teams to everyone who contributes to our wider Trust community, it is the collective efforts of our staff that continue to make a difference to the lives of our pupils and the communities we serve.

Being shortlisted is something we can all be incredibly proud of and recognises the continued work taking place across Matrix Academy Trust to deliver our commitment to Education Without Exception.

We look forward to attending the awards ceremony on Friday 4 December 2026, which will take place at the prestigious House of Lords in Central London. The evening will bring together education leaders from across the country, giving us the opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the education sector and hopefully bring home the award!

Congratulations to everyone across Matrix Academy Trust who has played a part in this achievement. This recognition belongs to you.
