Nervously, we are pleased to see some tentative green shoots appearing. The banks are still only lending to people who don’t need to borrow and most of our buyers are cash buyers who love to say ‘Cash is King’. If I hear that again…and they happen to be wrong in the educational market. Our school and nursery owners simply won’t sell unless and until they get the right buyer and the right price. They will simply hang on until things get better. Good for them.

Where can I get advice about running an independent school or college?
There are several independent consultants who can help you understand the workings of the independent educational sector. We know most of them and can particularly recommend mtmconsulting (www.mtmconsulting.co.uk) who have been giving sound advice on demographics, marketing and promotion since 1984. MTM also run regular and most valuable conferences in London for proprietors : the only such conference we know of anywhere.
