Education

The current challenges of the recession mean the next few years will be a difficult time for schools and educational organisations.

Getting the right advice can make the difference between success and failure. It is in this environment that our experience and capabilities really add significant value to our school and education sector clients.

We believe that keeping our clients informed with up to date and valuable information relevant to the sector is key. We therefore produce newsletters, run seminars through the year and work in conjunction with membership bodies. To see our comprehensive seminar programme "Knowledge share" click here.

What our clients say

"Kingston Smith’s Education Seminar ‘Raising finance for schools’ on 22 March 2011 could not have been more timely or appropriate in the current economic climate. A very well structured agenda was supported by excellent speakers who were most informative and thought provoking. This was undoubtedly the best and most useful education seminar I have attended."
