As one of the eastern region’s major providers of services to academies we act for around 100 academy trusts in every county across East Anglia, the eastern home counties as well as six London boroughs.
Our clients include every type of establishment – from small rural primary schools to large inner-city comprehensives and faith schools, and from single schools to larger multi-academy trusts with a national reach.
Whether your school is a late converter; is under pressure to become a multi-academy trust or is just looking for a change in advisor our close-knit team, most of whom have experience working in governance themselves, can help and guide you through the extensive regulations and confusing jargon.
