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.

Working with Jeff Marshall has been invaluable whilst creating a new multi- academy trust. His knowledge of the process and timeline of the journey to academy status is unsurpassed and was vital to our group of 6 schools. I would recommend his service unreservedly and cannot imagine us getting through the conversion without his guide.

"In terms of cost J&G Marshall Ltd cannot be beaten. They provide excellent value for money. We made a saving on the grant which we will use to provide additional resources for the children."
