Corporate Vision Castlegate Education provides two key services to elevate schools and help them achieve financial stability. Through its international partnership services, it allows them to establish a presence overseas, and its consultancy is aimed at helping them develop strategic plans for their future, such as financial planning or leadership transitions. Both services are driven by a shared goal: to give children the best possible start in life. The company does not solely work to keep schools operational, but to maintain their educational philosophy, ensuring that despite changes in leadership the forwardthinking philosophy, heart, and mission of each and every school remains intact. With a view to foster uncompromising quality in education, it is keen to support schools as responsible businesses, believing strongly in holistic excellence. Castlegate seeks to align schools’ operations with sustainability goals, fair employment practices, and positive community involvement in order to maximise not just the education they provide but also their local presence. “We value community,” says Founder Alex McGrath, “and so we support communities which seek to build an excellent education for their children.” Crucially, at its core, the company is aligned with schools which place value on providing children individualised education and attention regardless of their circumstances. “This is what drives us – ensuring children can be given the best possible chance in life and develop into adults who will contribute positively to our world because of the education they received.” Developing an overseas presence is both a highly strategic move for schools facing economic hardships and a benefit to global education. Castlegate Education works for institutions to plan the establishment of their campuses and educational programmes abroad, which earns them a new revenue stream while delivering their exceptional standards of education internationally. The team’s in-depth knowledge of both UK and international education poises its members to match each school’s ethos, curriculum, and mission to the appropriate partners, investors, and developers. Quality education is in a time of crisis, weighed down by political, economic, and social pressures, and as a result, children’s opportunities suffer. Castlegate Education’s mission is to help those institutions weather the storm. By connecting schools with the right partners, be they institutions abroad, government ministries, investors, or developers, and providing expert consultancy services, it helps them to maintaining the highest educational standards. International Education Strategy Consultancy of the Year Castlegate’s consultancy projects provide strategic support for schools through trying times and create a foundation for future success. Its focus is on schools in the commercial and independent charitable education space. In Alex’s words, “we work with school boards to strengthen and reposition their institution as the school of choice in an area, to appoint new leadership, or to prepare for a new chapter in their story, such as a merger or acquisition.” The company has a successful record of helping institutions make the right decisions for them, their communities, and the children they serve and only continues to expand its influence. “Too often, schools are run by educators who fail to plan for the financial headwinds they may face, or investors treat schools like any other business, failing to understand the complex human factors which create a supportive, high quality learning environment.” Owing to the combined expertise of its team and Alex McGrath’s stewardship, Castlegate Education is set for continued success going forward. As a veteran of domestic and overseas education, Alex stewards the company with first-hand experience of international schooling standards and a rare dedication to fostering children’s futures worldwide. His team members have all occupied senior leadership positions in schools, ensuring that the company’s services are delivered with a basis of practical experience and according to an internal culture which prizes trust and faithful service to education. Castlegate Education is a bastion of opportunity. Its service to global education standards cannot be overstated, and its mission distils the passion of experienced education professionals to transform institutions for the benefit of their students. As the company grows, its team aims to develop responsible business services for schools, adapting them to modern standards of success and social accountability. Eventually, Castlegate Education intends to run a school group and looks forward to discussing the proposition with investors. In the meantime, it will continue to leave its unique and indelible mark on global education. Contact: Alex McGrath Company: Castlegate Education Web Address: www.castlegate-education.com
