GovNet are returning to Birmingham for The Schools and Academies Show to bring together influential speakers from the education sector to share their knowledge and expertise.
 
At 11:45am in the MAT Summit Theatre, NFER’s Research Director, Jenna Julius, will be chatting with Cardinal Newman Trust’s Dr Daniel Doyle about how falling pupil numbers are likely to impact decision making in MATs.

Jenna will be drawing on research from NFER’s two-part research blog series; ‘Senior leaders under pressure as pupil numbers fall’ and ‘The state of additional support needs and services in English schools’.
