Forum Strategy members are invited to our upcoming briefing on the 2026 Academies Benchmark Report by Kreston Reeves.

The report sets out the trends around finance, spend and aspects of trust development; providing an insight for all trust leaders about general issues and priorities across the sector.

Attending the session will give you the chance to consider:

– How are trust finances looking, and how does your trust compare?
– What are trusts generally prioritising, and how does it compare and contrast with your own plans and strategic objectives?
– How is the sector evolving more generally, and what are the implications for trusts and trust leaders?

There will also be time for questions and answers.

The session will be chaired by Michael Pain, and will be led by the report’s authors, bringing their professional insights and viewpoints.

Members will have received an invite to the session. If you do not have your invite email admin@forumstrategy.org for details
