Outcomes First Group has announced an expansion into non-selective independent schools with the launch of a new division, Blenheim Schools, commencing with the acquisition of five new schools from Chatsworth Schools group.
Joining the Group are four schools in the UK which include Beech Hall School in Macclesfield, Pattison, Hall School Wimbledon, and The London Acorn School. Beech Hall School in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia joins as the Group’s first international school.
All five schools will form part of the Group’s newly formed Blenheim division, a family of non-selective independent schools with a focus on high-quality education that reflects the individual needs, learning styles and aspirations of pupils.
Speaking about the announcement, Group CEO of Outcomes First Group David Leatherbarrow said;
“This expansion underscores our commitment to delivering exceptional education that is tailored around the unique abilities and aspirations of our pupils. The schools joining us reflect our long-standing vision of personalised education that empowers pupils to thrive in a diverse and evolving world, and I am delighted to be welcoming them into the Group.”
A recognised leader in delivering exceptional, personalised education for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) through its Acorn Education and Options Autism divisions, Outcomes First Group has also been supporting over 500 mainstream schools to help young people overcome barriers and engage with education via Momenta Connect. This further expansion enables the Group to broaden its impact to support more pupils to reach their full potential.
To ensure a smooth transition into the Group, Anita Gleave, Founder and CEO of Chatsworth Schools will be joining Blenheim Schools alongside other members of the Chatsworth Schools central leadership team. Anita will support with Blenheim Schools International operations and new opportunities overseas.
Anita commented, “Creating and building the Chatsworth Schools family was such a blessing. Within that, founding Blenheim Schools and Beech Hall School Riyadh alongside amazing colleagues has to be one of my proudest and greatest achievements. I am excited to be joining Outcomes First Group, together with three of my team, to continue Blenheim Schools’ mission of enabling outstanding futures for as many children, of all abilities and talents, as possible around the world.”
