Roll out

We have enabled the expansion of school and care home capacity and tripling of pupil numbers whilst maintaining sector leading quality.

We have had a long partnership with Witherslack and it’s been very rewarding to help develop and grow an outstanding business that delivers so much for its stakeholders, from pupils and parents to Local Authorities, employees and shareholders. At its heart is the ethos of always doing the right thing for disadvantaged young people and improving outcomes.

It was our commitment to supporting the highest standards in education and care that enabled us to forge a partnership with Witherslack’s management, who are passionate about the education and care they provide, and wanted a private equity partner that shared that philosophy.
