Years of squeezed budgets, growing pupil numbers and the cumulative effect of education reforms and short-term policy initiatives have left many schools facing significant funding gaps.
These multiple challenges have led a growing number of maintained schools to convert to academy status or join Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs), as schools seek to deliver greater economies of scale.
Our team has been working with MATs since their inception, providing comprehensive advice on estate strategy, valuation, leasing, planning, building condition surveys, lifecycle maintenance programmes, project management, purchase and disposal, and business rates mitigation.
In a sector where governance continually evolves, our experience and in-depth knowledge of MATs enables us to provide detailed strategic advice in managing their estates and understanding future liabilities.
