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 to Jeff and Peter of J&G Marshall Ltd for all your hard work in conducting our recent Governance and Growth Audit. Your professionalism combined with the rigour of the process ensured the audit was really robust. By taking time to speak with a range of people across our Trust, as well as scrutinising a wide range of documentation, we felt that you really ‘got to know and understand us’ and the final report was accurate and incredibly informative. Throughout the process we have benefited enormously from your expertise and knowledge and the outcomes of the audit have significantly helped to shape our strategic thinking around future growth. Thank you for your time, care and professionalism, it has been a pleasure working with you.
