Stuart decided to sell the school so he could move back to New Zealand with his young family.
Following a confidential sales process with Jassi Sunner at Christie & Co, the school has been purchased by investor, David Allison of EduPartners - a UK-based Education Consultancy company.
Christie & Co associate director Jassi Sunner, said: “Our client Stuart has successfully run Avondale for over 10 years and instilled a fantastic ethos in the business which was always going to be apparent for any potential buyer.
"After a range of interest following our various marketing campaigns, we found interested parties have a wide range of plans for the school with differing future uses.
"Stuart decided to sell to David to keep the continuity of the school, and his strong affinity to the school meant he wanted to leave the staff and pupils in good hands with as little effect on them as possible.
"It was a real pleasure to work with Stuart and I wish him and his family all the best as they return to New Zealand.”
Avondale Preparatory School was sold for an undisclosed price.
