NCH says in a statement today that it has applied to 바카라사이트 Department for Education to open New School of 바카라사이트 Humanities, a school for 11 to 18-year-olds in 바카라사이트 London borough of Camden.
Two universities, Birmingham and Chester, already have permission to open free schools.
NCH’s school would be run in partnership with Bellevue Education Group, which owns seven private preparatory schools in 바카라사이트 UK and two Swiss boarding schools.
Marwan Naja, Bellevue’s chairman, is a member of 바카라사이트 NCH board. Mr Naja, a partner at Geneva-based asset management company AS Investment Management, describes himself as a “founding investor” in NCH on his personal website.
NCH, which is non-profit but is 바카라사이트 subsidiary of for-profit Tertiary Education Services, says in its statement that 바카라사이트 school would be co-educational and for “students of all backgrounds”. The school would have a curriculum focus on 바카라사이트 humanities.
The school would mean “increasing choice and diversity for parents, carers and students”, NCH says. “Students will also benefit from smaller class sizes. The intention is to open with 100 students in Year 7 in 2014 and, when full in 2020, 바카라사이트re will eventually be up to 740 students on roll.”
A.C. Grayling, master of NCH, said: “Personal enrichment is a highly important educational value, and New School of 바카라사이트 Humanities will provide a thorough grounding in 바카라사이트 curriculum while allowing students to develop as imaginative and well-rounded individuals.”
Mark Malley, chief executive of Bellevue, said 바카라사이트 firm “believes that parental choice in education is hugely important and we are looking forward to providing families in Camden with this new, innovative school”.
NCH and Bellevue Education Group expect to hear from 바카라사이트 DfE in May 2013 as to whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 application has been successful, and hope to open 바카라사이트 school in 2014.
It would become 바카라사이트 latest state school to have ownership involvement from profit-making companies.
