Leading English private schools are making tens of millions of pounds from franchises with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party, an investigation by The Times has revealed.


The board of Harrow International School Hong Kong, whose sprawling campus was built with an interest-free £22.5 million loan from the Hong Kong government, includes four senior Communist Party members.


The website of one of Dulwich College’s nine associated Chinese campuses lists policies and procedures for turning children into party members.


The founding members of Westminster School’s main Chinese campus include a party secretary and a businessman who advises Beijing on Tibet.
