Adviser to Globeducate in the acquisition of  Olympion (Cyprus), L´Ecole des Petits and L´Ecole de Battersea (London)

​September 2024 - Afaya Partners was engaged as Operational and Educational  Advisor by Globeducate in the acquisition of Olympion in Cyprus and two schools in London, L´Ecole des Petits and L´Ecole de Battersea  
​
Afaya Partners was retained as Operational and Educational Advisor by Globeducate in the recently announced acquisitions of three schools: the Educational Group Olympion located near Nicosia and two sister schools in London, L'Ecole des Petits in Fulham  and L'Ecole de Battersea, both bilingual French/English schools, accredited by the French educational authority, but also submitted to the OFSTED inspections

​Olympion is a group of Greek private schools with the majority of students, nearly 450 pupils across Middle and High School ages, being Cypriot nationals. The first phase of a new elementary school opened September 2024

As an AEFE (Agency for French Education Abroad) accredited school,  and a DfE (Department for Education) registered school, L'Ecole des Petits is inspected by both the AEFE and OFSTED. The school was the first independent “Ecole Maternelle” in England to achieve recognition for alignment with the French educational standards globally as an “Ecole Partenaire” in 1997, and retains this today. 

L’Ecole de Battersea is an independent bilingual pre-primary and primary school founded in 2005 and caters for up to 280 pupils aged 3 to 11. Leavers at the end of CM2 can choose from continuing in the French system (Lycée Français) or moving onto a top English Independent school with tailored lessons for this option.
