OAK Trees MAT

The transition from mainstream schools to academies is anticipated to increase over the next few years. With the increasing need for greater school autonomy and improved student outcomes, academy trusts must remain adaptable and forward-thinking to effectively respond to these demands.

After looking at the client’s needs and long-term goals, our team developed a strategic framework for improving their technical, curriculum and marketing capabilities

Tech Procurement, Infrastructure and Support

hi-impact were able to support all member schools of the trust to ensure all technical products and services were streamlined ensuring consistency. We executed a strategic approach with each member school ensuring they receive the attention they deserve. 

• In terms of procurement, we provided technical audits, an ICT Strategy, hardware replacement, hardware upgrades, software, product licensing and anti-virus.
• For infrastructure, hi-impact provided data cabling, internet connectivity, WiFi upgrades, internet filtering, audio-visual systems, print and copy solutions and VoIP.
• hi-impact also offers ongoing tech support through SaaS, device management, hardware maintenance, diagnostic repairs, software support, a dedicated technician for each school and remote tech support.

This streamlined method has not only brought consistency to systems management across the trust, but has also provided exceptional network expertise.

Integrating Computing and Technology across the Curriculum

Our curriculum consultants provided a personalised service tailored to the unique needs of each member school. We worked closely with these schools to identify their curriculum needs across various subjects. 

• We support the schools through subject leader support, a computing curriculum and an integration of tech across all subjects.
• We support the teachers through perpetual staff skills audits, CPD Opportunities and teaching resources.
• We support the students through enhancement days, enrichment workshops and specialist STEM Projects.

Media Services

To meet their marketing goals, our creative team executed a comprehensive brand transformation. This involved creating a new website, refreshing the logo, developing a new library of photography and producing a promotional film tailored to draw in new schools to the MAT. With hi-impact’s support, Oak Trees MAT now delivers a more streamlined brand , ensuring consistency and unity across all member schools.

Through streamlined technical support, tailored integration of computing and technology across the curriculum to meet each school’s needs and marketing solutions, we’ve helped strengthen the Oak Trees MAT. Today, it boasts a robust operational system, providing valuable support to its current schools, along with a compelling visual brand to attract new members.
