Synopsis

Edit

Oakley Capital, an investment company in London, agreed to invest £14m in Thomas’s London Day Schools, a family run group of co-educational independent schools. "We are delighted to announce this partnership with Oakley which enables us to pursue our development plans whilst remaining a privately owned and run family business. We had never seriously considered bringing on board a financial partner for Thomas’s, until we met Oakley. We have found that they understand the long-term nature of education, are aligned with our values and are willing to support us as a minority investor. As a result, we firmly believe that they are the right partner, who come at the right time to enable us to take Thomas’s to the next stage of its evolution. Oakley has helped many world-leading education businesses realise their full potential. We are pleased to be partnering with them as we work together to realise our plans and expand our provision of a forward-thinking, outward-looking education based on a strong set of values," Ben Thomas, Thomas's London Day Schools Principal.
