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.

J&G were integral to ensuring our conversion process was smooth. With five schools all converting at once, the process was handled really effectively, efficiently and successfully. It was however, the support which was given at every stage of the process which impressed us the most. No question was too sillly, no email was sent too late at night and all calls were responded to quickly. As complete newcomers to the Academy world we were guided the whole way and the Heads of all the schools involved cannot speak highly enough of the personal service we received.

"What makes J&G Marshall stand out is their way of working. They are always available and working to the principle that whatever is important to us is important to them. The combination of skills, experience and can-do attitude is a powerful one, and is the heartbeat in Jeff's team."
