Foreign partnership arrangements are common at many charitable private schools
Haileybury and Imperial Service College, to give the school its full title, grew out of the East India Company with a mission to train the soldiers and functionaries of Britain’s empire. But in a modern twist, Haileybury’s latest mission is to “provide a rigorous and highly regarded British education in Bangladesh” when it opens a satellite boarding school there later this year, to go with two satellite schools in Kazakhstan.
Haileybury describes its relationships with its satellites as “partnerships”. While Haileybury is a registered charity, the income from its overseas operations goes to Haileybury Enterprises Limited (HEL), a subsidiary described as supplying services to the school on “international educational advice and consultancy”.
