Developing an effective multi-academy trust technology vision and strategy

RM will host a Platinum Masterclass on “Cloud, Covid and the 5Cs of Trust ICT – How to develop an effective vision and strategy”. In this presentation, Hannah Wornham – School Trust Relationship Manager, Richard Hadland – Strategic Account Manager and Martin Pipe – Head of Service Design at RM will explore key areas and considerations for multi-academy trusts to refresh their ICT vision and strategy. They will touch on how to maximise economies of scale, the importance of compliance and managing change.

Transforming formative assessment across your multi-academy trust

Peter Collison, Head of Formative Assessment at RM, will demonstrate RM Compare, a new assessment methodology that offers a highly reliable alternative to traditional ways of marking. It enables teachers to assess student’s work more quickly and enables students to learn from their peers. It can also help maintain standards across trusts and support teacher professional development. Join Peter’s presentation on 29th April from 2pm at RM’s virtual exhibition stand to find out how RM Compare can transform your formative assessment.

We hope to see you there!
