Glenalmond Group's collaboration with 35 Education, announced this week, will provide an “immediate substantial cash injection to ensure the Glenalmond Group remains financially robust” and “achieve dynamic plans for growth.”

The Glenalmond Group encompasses Glenalmond College and Perth's Craigclowan School and Nursery.

35 Education is headed by professor Basak Akdemir, a former chief executive of several international education organisations with business interests worldwide.

The partnership was said to provide “long-term stability and resilience as well as long-term finance to secure the future of the Glenalmond Group by reinforcing its foundations amidst a challenging economic landscape for the education sector.”
