The Law of Unintended Consequences: Why More Schools Are Converting to Academy Status in 2025 In a move intended to slow down the rate of academisation, the government recently […]
J & G Marshall Ltd was created to help schools not just understand the academy conversion process, but to navigate successfully and effectively through it.
Our philosophy is simple – our team all sit on Trust Boards and governing bodies. As a result, we see the process from the point of view of the schools, not the policy makers. We help senior leaders to continue to focus on education outcomes, while we handle the tasks, paperwork and hurdles that can come with conversion.
Furthermore, our support grows with you. We have the credentials and experience to help academies and MATs grow and flourish. We highlight your strengths and signpost areas to develop before they become critical concerns. This understanding is a vital part of a healthy academy trust. Whether it be a MAT Growth Audit, MAT MOT, Due Diligence or even a Merger, we are with you throughout the whole process.
To find out more, read what the schools and academies who work with us have to say. J & G Marshall is a true partner.

"I have had the pleasure to work with Jeff and his colleagues for the last two years, on our academy journey. The professional service, advice, knowledge and support has been first class, simply outstanding! Jeff was recommended by a colleague and from the first point of contact he has been reliable, warm, reassuring and very approachable-always at the end of an email, a phone call or a text (even late in the evening or at weekends). The time and commitment that Jeff has given over these two years has been phenomenal, definitely going ‘above and beyond’. He has attended numerous meetings, provided all kinds of documentation and personally provided advice, guidance and council. He has linked us in with other Trusts and introduced us to numerous people who can support us in our new Trust moving forwards. I cannot recommend Jeff’s company enough and I will certainly be looking to work with him more in the very near future -with his CEO course, and work around governance and trust growth. A huge thank you to Jeff and his team-you have been AMAZING! "
