"We have now resolved to move forward on three, possibly four projects during the forthcoming decade.

"The other projects planned are in Morocco and Ghana. China is also a possibility, where discussions are due to open in a few months’ time.

"The King’s House international schools will follow the same approach and formula as we have successfully established here in the UK.

"The international expansion will, as the new schools get off their feet in the next few years, bring revenue into our UK school in Luton.

"This, in turn, will be of great assistance to us in aiding our plans to expand and introduce new facilities and educational provision."
