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.

J & G Marshall has supported more than 250 schools, academies, stand-alone-trusts and MATs to put the frameworks in place to help them achieve their education goals and aspirations. To facilitate this, our services and expertise can be tailored to ensure our work is targeted and cost-effective. Click on each of the circles below to see the areas where we can offer support:
I started talking about the building blocks of the academy programme in 2013 as the number of conversions continued to grow.

Newspaper headline writers have had quite a bit to focus on in 2019. There is a little thing called Brexit, Mr Trump’s wall and the driving ability of members of Royalty have all captured the front pages. You could be forgiven for thinking that there was little else of significance going on in public policy. […]
There are three things that I feel I can count on each year. I will get a tax bill in January I will get more letters inviting me to health check-ups than I did the year before The first part of the year will see the papers saying that the academy sector is “in crisis” […]
"J&G were integral to ensuring our conversion process was smooth. With five schools all converting at once, the process was handled really effectively, efficiently and successfully. It was however, the support which was given at every stage of the process which impressed us the most. No question was too sillly, no email was sent too late at night and all calls were responded to quickly. As complete newcomers to the Academy world we were guided the whole way and the Heads of all the schools involved cannot speak highly enough of the personal service we received."
