Centurion Multi-Academy Trust – Case Study
Background
As a newly formed trust, Centurion Multi-Academy Trust was struggling with governance processes. Documents often went missing, trust members weren’t always receiving the right information, and decisions were regularly delayed. Meetings became inefficient, with time wasted revisiting information or resolving confusion, while the administrative burden grew heavier.
“There was such a lack of transparency, I never really knew what was being kept, who had attended which meetings, or when things had been updated. On top of that, the sheer amount of admin made it so difficult to keep governance documentation up-to-date and accessible. It all caused delays and confusion, which made decision-making harder than it needed to be.”
The Solution: TrustGov
When Centurion Multi-Academy Trust introduced TrustGov, it completely transformed the way governance processes were handled. By automating routine tasks like sending reminders and distributing documentation, the system reduced Louise’s administrative workload significantly.
“TrustGov has honestly made such a difference. Before, I was manually sending out emails and documents to everyone, which took up so much time. Now, the system takes care of that for me. It’s been an absolute game-changer for my workload.”
With all documents securely stored in one place, Louise found pre-meeting preparation much quicker and easier.
“I’ve halved the time it takes to prepare for meetings – I’m saving hours every week. The system is so simple to use, and everything’s secure and accessible. Even when auditors come in, I can just give them access to what they need without having to spend ages pulling everything together.”
Improved Meeting Efficiency
One of the biggest improvements has been in the efficiency of meetings and decision-making. TrustGov ensures that all trust members have instant access to relevant information well in advance.
“Now I know everyone’s got the documents they need before the meeting. They’ve had time to read everything, so we can get straight to making decisions instead of wasting time going over things. Meetings are so much more productive – it’s just a much better use of everyone’s time.”
Supporting Growth
As Centurion Multi-Academy Trust plans to grow in size over the coming years, TrustGov is already proving invaluable in supporting their ambitions.
“We’re planning to grow significantly, adding more schools to the Trust, and TrustGov is going to help us manage that. It gives us the structure and efficiency we need to keep making informed decisions as we expand.”
Conclusion
TrustGov has completely transformed how Centurion Multi-Academy Trust manages governance. By automating admin, improving transparency, and enabling secure document sharing, the platform has not only saved time but also made meetings and decision-making more effective.
“I’d absolutely recommend TrustGov to others. It’s cut my meeting preparation time in half, saved me so much admin, and made everything more efficient and secure. It’s made such a difference to how we work.”
