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.

As a primary headteacher, I have had the privilege of working with J&G Marshall Ltd during our recent academy conversion. Their expertise and unwavering support have been invaluable throughout the entire process. From the initial planning stages to the final implementation, the team demonstrated a deep understanding of our unique challenges and needs. Their guidance made the transition seamless, fostering a sense of confidence among our staff and community. We are now excited to embrace our new status and the opportunities it brings for our children. I wholeheartedly recommend Jeff's team to any school considering a similar journey.

"We always found Jeff to be very approachable and had very prompt responses to all our enquiries. The face-to-face meetings were always well prepared and personable and, throughout the process, we were given sound advice. Even though our conversion is now complete, I feel we have found a new friend and would happily work with Jeff and his company in the future."
