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.

For £11,500 + VAT, our service includes everything you need.

"Thank you for all of your support through the Academy conversion. I have been particularly impressed with the support and guidance that you provided us, as an individual school, before making our decision to convert. You and your team have always been available to answer questions and queries along the way (no matter what time of day/night). We really couldn’t have done it without you! We are really looking forward to working with you in the future, and we know that we will continue to receive first class support from your professional team. Thanks again."

"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."
