Academy Conversions

 

Our team includes professionals who all sit on Trust Boards and governing bodies. It means that we look at things differently. We see conversion from the perspective of the school, not just from a business point of view.

Now that the Academy Conversion Grant has been discontinued, it is more important than ever to seek quality advice and support at a cost-effective price. The key motivation when J & G Marshall was established was finding a way carry out conversions more effectively and efficiently so that more of the school’s monies could be directed to the classroom where possible. Our fixed price conversion package has always given peace of mind to a school and Trust that no nasty surprises crop up financially down the line.

Our single fee structure ensures that conversion grants can support education outcomes, rather than being swallowed up by legal fees and administration.

The team at J&G Marshall provided us with exceptional and invaluable expertise, support and guidance throughout the academy conversion process for the newest school in our Summit Learning Trust family. Jeff and the team worked tirelessly to ensure that both our Trust and the joining school were able to conduct due diligence processes effectively and efficiently and ensured that a positive integration process was able to take place. Without the support of J&G Marshall, this academy conversion would have taken considerably longer and created significantly more work for both parties. This support and guidance enabled us to focus more on our learners prior to, during and post conversion.
