SHW - Supporting the evolving needs of the education sector
Development, Education, Professional services
At SHW, we work closely with clients across the education sector — from independent schools to multi-site educational operators — helping them navigate an increasingly challenging landscape.

Private and independent schools are facing significant economic pressures, from rising operational costs to shifting pupil demographics. In this environment, making informed decisions about property assets has never been more important.
Our team can support schools to maximise the value and efficiency of their estates, including:
· Assessing market rents to unlock income from surplus or underutilised space
· Providing strategic building and architectural advice to optimise existing accommodation
· Delivering marketing and disposal guidance where part — or all — of a site may no longer meet operational needs
By combining our valuation, agency and consultancy expertise, we aim to provide practical, tailored solutions that support long-term sustainability.
If you’re reviewing your estate strategy or simply considering your options, Carlie Edgerton, our alternative sector specialist, would be delighted to have a conversation.
