We are delighted to announce that HFL Education has been shortlisted for a MAT Excellence Award 2026 in the Company of The Year category.
We are incredibly proud of the work we do to support trusts and that this has been recognised but we wouldn't have been shortlisted for this award without the generosity of two trusts Spiral and the Diocese of Norwich Education and Academies Trust (DNEAT) who helped us with our entries. The judges were truly impressed by the quality and impact of the nominations.
We work in collaboration with MATs nationwide to provide award-winning resources, services that save trusts time and money, and top-level strategic support that ensures every student gets the best education. It's fantastic to see that our extensive and innovative offer is being recognised by MAT Excellence as well as moving the needle for trusts through transformative changes that help teachers teach, learners learn, and leaders to run their operations effectively.
Presented by Optimus Education, in partnership with the Confederation of School Trusts (CST), the awards recognise the outstanding work and commitment of multi-academy trusts, and those that serve them, around the country. We will find out in June if we are winners but whatever the outcome, this is a huge achievement for us.
