What is MATCPD?
We deliver professional development that helps school and multi-academy trust leaders and educators
overcome challenges, strengthen teams, and achieve meaningful results.
We’re on a mission to provide outstanding professional development to school and trust leaders

Our mission
At MATCPD, we recognise that leading a school or multi-academy trust brings complex and evolving demands. As leadership teams balance increasing pressures, finding high-quality, relevant professional development can be a real challenge.
MATCPD was established to bridge this gap. We provide flexible, expert-led training tailored to the specific needs of school and trust leaders. Our courses cover critical areas including finance, HR, governance, safeguarding, and operations, helping leaders address real-world challenges with practical, actionable learning.
Our courses are developed by education specialists with hands-on leadership experience. This ensures every session delivers not just theory, but insight and solutions that can be applied directly to your context.
Our approach supports leaders in building the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to strengthen teams, navigate complexity, and drive meaningful improvement across schools and trusts.
Our purpose is clear
To deliver CPD for school and trust leaders and educators that equips them with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to drive meaningful change.
