 About the Alpha Plus Group The Alpha Plus Group - formerly Davies, Laing and Dick Education Group - was founded in 1931 and currently comprises twenty independent schools and colleges, Lyn Fry Associates and the Best Practice Network. The schools and colleges within the group have developed a longstanding reputation for delivering premium quality education. The Centres of Excellence Each centre retains is own identity, with the Heads and Principals afforded significant management authority, but with the benefits of financial security, camaraderie and opportunities for sharing best practice by belonging to one of the country's leading educational groups. The Name The choice of name and motto 'the gold standard in education' signifies our commitment to maintaining the very highest standards in each of our schools, colleges and consultancy services. The traditional values that have guided the group to its success during the last seventy years continue to be at the heart of our philosophy but are enhanced by the very best practices in modern education. The specific needs of individual students and pupils will remain our highest priority. As its name implies, the Best Practice Network, through its consultancy, training and inspection services, aims to help schools and colleges in the independent and state sector to achieve and maintain the highest of standards in teaching and learning.
