FINDING A SCHOOL PARTNER / FRANCHISE

We have a huge network of UK branded schools, and established partnerships that are ‘ready to go’.

Usually, these deals require careful negotiation to align everyone’s educational ambitions, values and financial expectations. We have brought many, major brands to the region and we know how to structure the right agreement, with the right partners.

We know that UK schools are looking to the Middle East for expansion, and our networks within the region are first class so with the right ingredients, we’re confident that we could place a high performing UK school with the right partner.

SCHOOL HR SERVICES

A school depends first and foremost on its staff.
Great teaching staff will lead to great student outcomes. Good support staff will provide all-round service excellence. Strong leadership and teamwork skills then provide the cement that ensures growth, efficiency and continuous improvement.

BBD provides an integrated package of support for school start-ups. Our expert team has recruited teachers to the region for more than 15 years. The service begins with a quick but essential strategic review of the school’s vision and proposition for parents. From that starting point as a workshop, BBD draws on leading edge solutions and research to provide:

  • Contract templates,
  • Recruitment and search,
  • Policies, documents and guidelines,
  • Quality assurance and staff management,
  • Guidance for establishing your HR office.

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT

At BBD, we offer a range of school improvement services that are either tailor-made to each individual school or they are a range of training topics that schools can select from in order to focus their time on specific areas that require improvement.

Schools that require long term school improvement support can work with BBD’s expert team to build capacity in the following areas:

  • Supporting students’ learning,
  • Assessment and curriculum,
  • Lesson observations,
  • Professional learning,
  • Middle and senior leadership development,
  • Inspection preparation,
  • Self-evaluation,
  • Governance.

SCHOOL MANAGEMENT

International schools within the Middle East and Asia bring a multitude of challenges and rewards.
BBD Education has extensive experience within the Middle East of managing all aspects of schools, ranging from the finance, operations and marketing to quality assurance of the curriculum, continuing professional learning and the recruitment of teachers.
Our team has successfully managed schools within the Middle East and has developed contextual solutions to the challenges of working within a rapidly evolving sector. As the region continues to grow, schools must have local solutions that satisfy parental demands.

SCHOOL LICENSING AND ACADEMIC PLAN WRITING

Different regulators have different requirements but most want to see a detailed academic and operational plan that proves your ability to run a good school.
This is one of our specialist strengths and we have a 100% track record.
We have successfully licensed schools with the Knowledge and Human Development Authority in Dubai, the Abu Dhabi Education Council, the Ministry of Social Affairs and other regulatory bodies in the region.

We know what the expectations are and how to navigate the hidden expectations that are implicit within the market. We have worked with individual school owners seeking to buy land and open schools and with larger organisations that are seeking to open clusters of schools in different cities. Our team has extensive experience of working with licence application documents and we are fully-aware of the government expectations to open and licence new schools.
