The Law of Unintended Consequences: Why More Schools Are Converting to Academy Status in 2025 In a move intended to slow down the rate of academisation, the government recently […]
J & G Marshall Ltd was created to help schools not just understand the academy conversion process, but to navigate successfully and effectively through it.
Our philosophy is simple – our team all sit on Trust Boards and governing bodies. As a result, we see the process from the point of view of the schools, not the policy makers. We help senior leaders to continue to focus on education outcomes, while we handle the tasks, paperwork and hurdles that can come with conversion.
Furthermore, our support grows with you. We have the credentials and experience to help academies and MATs grow and flourish. We highlight your strengths and signpost areas to develop before they become critical concerns. This understanding is a vital part of a healthy academy trust. Whether it be a MAT Growth Audit, MAT MOT, Due Diligence or even a Merger, we are with you throughout the whole process.
To find out more, read what the schools and academies who work with us have to say. J & G Marshall is a true partner.

""As a small MAT, considering growth as part of our future vision, we undertook a "growth audit" earlier this year to see if we were ready in every sense to progress our expansion plans. The onsite evaluation and monitoring process and written feedback have been immensely valuable in shaping our strategy for the future and in providing practical help on where we needed to take action to strengthen our Trust's readiness for growth. Rigorous, robust, positive, empowering - the MAT Growth Audit from J&G Marshall has significantly contributed to our strategic vision and planning for the future; worth every penny!""
