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 newly approved sponsor we will not look any further than Marshalls to support us with future conversions. Their honest, no nonsense approach coupled with their vast experience of the conversion process is exactly what we needed and we were delighted with the service we received. I would not hesitate in recommending Marshalls."

Kirsty Haw, Principal, The Three Saints Academy Trust

 

"It has been an absolute pleasure to work work with Jeff Marshall and his team for the last 3 years. We could not have been in better hands during a difficult conversion to academy and they were with us, fighting for us, every step of the way. Jeff is always on the end of an e-mail and I can guarantee that you will get first class, friendly, professional support. The attitude of Jeff and his team certainly helped to make a difficult 3 year wait more bearable and we would recommend this company without hesitation. I can not imagine there being a better service."
