"Parents are being informed of a plan to make The Warriner School and two primaries an academy, sponsored by a Turkish-backed organisation... The organisations involved, BAU Foundation and Mentora Academies Trust, are new and were only accepted and registered with the Department for Education (DfE) in August."

Local Schools Network explains complex web of underlying companies and people: http://www.localschoolsnetwork.org.uk/2013/12/how-did-a-private-turkish-university-and-the-carlyle-group-a-global-asset-management-company-end-up-in-the-mix-to-run-three-rural-schools-in-oxfordshire/

"Also on the Bau Foundation Board is Enver Yucel, a Turkish education entrepreneur who is currently the chair of the Bahcesehir Ugur Educational Institutions – a profit making Turkish education provider company, 48 % of which is owned by the global asset management company, the Carlyle Group."
