As capital funding pressures continue to grow, MAT leaders are increasingly challenged to make difficult decisions about where limited estates funding should be allocated. This session will share how one trust has developed a strategic, data-informed estates management approach aligned to the DfE’s Good Estate Management guidance, helping ensure every investment delivers the greatest possible impact across the trust.

Through a transparent scoring and prioritisation framework that considers factors including condition, health and safety, accessibility, staff need, and pupil wellbeing, attendees will explore how to make more confident and equitable decisions.
