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.

"This decision proved to be invaluable as we faced many challenges on our journey. J&G Marshall employs a team of qualified specialists in a range of fields (Law, Insurance, Finance, Land) all of whom have answers at their fingertips. Nothing was too much trouble for Jeff and his team and all our queries were responded to immediately either by phone call, by email or by a visit.
