Gordonstoun was founded in 1934 by German educationalist Dr Kurt Hahn and is one of the UK’s last remaining full boarding schools that is co-educational for 4 ½ -18 years olds. Known as a forward-thinking school that has pioneered character education, by delivering an ethos which stretches, challenges, nurtures and develops every child.

BBD’s first responsibilities are to make sure that every function, system and process in the school is documented so that a school of equal ambition and ethos can be reproduced while being adapted to its new setting. Based on its track record in opening many schools, BBD Education will work as an adviser and project manager to the school for the coming two years.

Professor Ralph Tabberer, owner and founder of BBD Education commented “Gordonstoun School is one of the top schools in the world with a unique and exceptional record in all-round education, based on its founder Kurt Hahn’s principles of service and challenge.

It is a real privilege to be able to play a part in their expansion to new territories.”

In addition to the support for Gordonstoun in China, BBD Education is set to open two new UK curriculum schools in September, 2020, one in Dammam, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and another in Dubai, UAE. The consultancy provides end-to-end school services for investors, and operators, and the Group has opened ten schools in the last five years in the UAE as well as working with some of the region’s leading investors and school groups.

The CEO of BBD Education, Shaun Robison commented on their expansion plans “New opportunities have opened up in China, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and also in Pakistan. We’re delighted to be working with great partners, and our UAE expertise is clearly translatable to new contexts. The UAE is still a priority for us, and we’re pushing ahead with a range of projects and initiatives in the UAE that will naturally lend themselves elsewhere.
