Independent Schools
We have established ourselves in the sector as key partners in business with our clients. The vast amount of experience and resources we bring in working with independent schools means that we provide first class advice consistently over the widest range of topics and issues.
Crowe Clark Whitehill is the leading adviser to independent schools. We audit over 23% of the sector income and act for more school clients than any other firm. Because of this and our additional involvement with the sector in the form of seminars, technical briefings and benchmarking, we really understand the challenges you face. Despite the economic downturn, the quality of education provided by the sector means that competitive pressures have not diminished: pressures to control fee increases and to maintain pupil numbers: to control operating costs: to continue with site and facility development, whilst all the while continuing to manage the additional burdens of being a registered charity. No-one understands your challenges better and no one is better placed to assist you to meet them.
In addition, to the broader services we provide to Not for Profits generally we assist independent schools with:
- benchmarking
- risk management - Charity Magique
- practical interpretation of regulation for the independent schools sector
- bursary reviews
- governor training.
