Governance
Independent schools are not run by a local authority, so it is fair to ask: who is responsible for this school, and who checks their work? Here is the straight answer.
The Proprietor
Daffodil Preparatory School is operated by Daffodil Preparatory School Ltd (registered in England, company number 12449182), the school's proprietor. The school is registered with the Department for Education under URN 149148 and is a member of the Independent Schools Association (ISA).
Anis Zaman, the school's founder, is the director of Daffodil Preparatory School Ltd and is responsible for the school's strategic direction and ethos.
What Oversight Means Here
The proprietor is accountable for making sure the school:
Our inspection results, the external check on all of the above, are published in full on our Inspections & Standards page.
complies with the independent school standards: the legal requirements covering the quality of education, pupils' welfare, health and safety, the suitability of staff and premises, and leadership, checked at every inspection;
keeps children safe: overseeing safeguarding arrangements, safer recruitment, and the work of the Designated Safeguarding Lead;
manages its finances properly: so that fees are handled with propriety and the school remains on a sound footing;
maintains and reviews its policies: each published with its version and review date in our policy library.
Governance Profiles
Profiles of those with governance responsibilities are managed in the CMS and shown here automatically.
Raising a Concern
If you have a concern about the school, start with the class teacher or the headteacher. Our complaints policy, including how to escalate a concern, is available in the policy library and in print from the school office.
See How It Works in Practice
Governance is easiest to judge by its results: the classrooms, the staff, the daily routine. Come and look.
