Lendy Park School is a Christian, independent, preparatory, day school for boys and girls in Marondera, Zimbabwe. The school was founded in 1991 and moved to its present site in 1992. [2]
A Christian school is a school run on Christian principles or by a Christian organization.
An independent school is independent in its finances and governance. It is usually not dependent upon national or local government to finance its operations, nor reliant on taxpayer contributions, and is instead funded by a combination of tuition charges, donations, and in some cases the investment yield of a financial endowment. It is typically governed by a board of governors which is elected independently of government, and has a system of governance that ensures its independent operation.
A preparatory school in the United Kingdom is a fee-charging independent primary school that caters primarily for children up to approximately the age of 11, the first year of secondary school. The term "preparatory school" is used as it prepares the children for the Common Entrance Examination to secure a place at a private independent secondary school, including the English public schools. They are also now used by parents in the hope of getting their child into a state selective grammar school. Most prep schools are inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI), which is overseen by Ofsted on behalf of the Department for Education.
