Ellesmere College Continues International Development

We are proud to announce our partnership with the Glory & Princeton International Schools Group which brings the addition of Ellesmere College Riyadh to our growing international portfolio.

The Glory Group has years of experience in the education sector, started in 2003 by Dr. Hamdi Abel Razek Ahmed and his wife, they now own and operate 15 schools across the region and are currently building a university in New Mansoura with eight specialist campuses.

 Dr Hamdi said ‘Our partnership with Ellesmere College is an exciting addition to the Glory Group, we are   delighted to be collaborating with a prestigious British school, with such a long and distinguished history, in   order to bring an ‘Ellesmere education’ to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We trust that the opening of   Ellesmere College Riyadh might be the first of many across the region.’

 Vicky Pritt-Roberts, Acting Head of Ellesmere College, commented ‘Working with a partner like the Glory   Group, who understand the Ellesmere philosophy, means that we can deliver academic excellence within an   inclusive and nurturing community, that engages in a broad range of extracurricular activities in order to   enhance personal growth. We should not forget that this growing international portfolio was the vision of our   late headmaster, Brendan Wignall. who was determined to see his work in this area flourish.’

Nick Pettingale, Director of International Development at Ellesmere College said ‘Both Ellesmere and the Glory Group understand that education is about guiding students to identify and exploit their truly, remarkable abilities. Together we recognise that education is a shared responsibility between family and school and we highly value the partnership that we build between our staff and our families’.

‘Alongside Ellesmere College Muscat, our school in Riyadh has recently opened its doors for pupil registration into Kindergarten and Years One and Two. Keep a look out too, at the end of this year, for news of our school in Doha which is nearing completion’.
