Castlegate Education | HMC Autumn Conference 2025

We help schools and education service providers generate new revenue streams and develop international partnerships.

We know schools, around the world, and support them with their strategies, whether that be with overseas franchising projects; strategic planning for SLTs and Governors; or with mergers and acquisitions in times of uncertainty and opportunity.

Castlegate enables schools to face the future with confidence and navigate a strategic path to sustainability and profitability.

Castlegate Education was founded by former HMC Head and British Council global schools business lead, Alex McGrath.

The company exists to support schools navigating the challenges of the current environment, and to plan for the future with confidence.

In 2025 we were nominated in the category of Consultancy of the Year – Strategy at the Education Investor Awards
