THREE Oxford schools are set to join a new education group.
Oxford International College, d’Overbroeck’s and Oxford Sixth Form College will all become part of Nord Anglia Education, in a deal announced yesterday.
The change will become official on March 31.
The trio are part of the Oxford International Education Group, with Nord Anglia acquiring the schools from Oxford International’s founders Bowmark Capital.
