History
Bellevue Education was founded under the name House Education by Mark Malley in 2003, when he bought Norfolk House preparatory school in London.[1][7][8] He also became the headteacher, and when the school was inspected in 2007 it was reported to be significantly improved from its previous inspection, with outstanding leadership.[9]
In 2008 House Education was renamed The Really Great Education Company Limited (EDCO) and purchased Weston Green School in Surrey.[1][7][10] It also purchased Skippers Hill Manor Preparatory School in East Sussex in 2010,[7][11] an expansion which contributed to its identification as an aspirant company in the proprietorial schools sector.[12]
The company adopted the name Bellevue Education Group in 2011, prior to acquiring three more independent schools: Edenhurst Preparatory School in Staffordshire, Brabyns Preparatory School in Cheshire, and Gateway School in Buckinghamshire.[1][7]
In 2012, Bellevue Education Group was reported to be jointly owned by Mark Malley, with a 35% stake, and its Chairman Marwan Naja, owner of Plato One Ltd and Plato Two Ltd.[3] Further investment in that year by Plato Two Ltd coincided with the establishment of Bellevue Education International Limited, of which Bellevue Education Group became a wholly owned subsidiary.[13][14] The parent company completed the acquisition of a Swiss boarding school, Surval Mont-Fleuri, subsequently renamed as Surval Montreux.[7][15] [16]
Back in the UK, Bellevue Education Group opened a new independent school, Wandsworth Preparatory School.[7][17]
Bellevue Education has formed a joint venture with Place Group,[18][19] the Bellevue Place Education Trust (BPET), which operates seven primary Free Schools across London and the South-East.[20][21][22]
During 2013, Bellevue Education Group acquired two more UK independent schools: Montessori House Nursery in Muswell Hill and Elmhurst School in South Croydon.[7]
Bellevue acquired two more UK independent schools in 2014: Forest Preparatory School in Altrincham and Forest Park Preparatory School in Sale, Greater Manchester.[7][23]
The group's latest acquisition was in March 2015: Ealing Independent College in West London.
