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.

Whereas many see the Academy Conversion Grant as the funding purely for the transfer, we have a different perspective. The key motivation when J & G Marshall was established was finding a way carry out conversions more effectively and efficiently so that the set-up grant could also be directed to the classroom where possible.

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

We have been supported by J and G Marshall LTD for the last twelve months. There professionalism, expertise and personable approach have been exceptional. They have navigated five complex conversions for our trust and it has been seamless. They have alleviated the stress, and enabled the executive team to focus on the day to day running of the Trust. I recommend them wholeheartedly; they have made a complex process appear straightforward. They provide excellent value for money and go above and above to support their clients. I would never use another company.
