Dear Zeeshan Abdul

 

Thank you for your request for information which we received on 20^th
September. In that request, you asked for the following information:

 

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 I seek the following information
about Anand Primary School:

 

1.         How many children did the school open with?

2.         How many children are now currently in the school?

3.         What % of the children are from a Sikhism background and what %
were from a non Sikhism background?

4.         How many governors does the school have and how were they
selected? Ive looked in local press and local governor websites and no
adverts have been placed? Is this a closed shop that often happens with
Free Schools?

5.         Who has been the lead throughout during the whole process? What
qualifications do they have?

6.         Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara has been given as a business
address, What is the Gurdwara’s relationship with the school and is the
school a Faith School

7.         Paul Uppal was recently in the news with the school, is he a
governor or a member of the Trust? What has his involvement been with the
school?

8.         Looking on the website a football fan club called Punjabi
Wolves organised a fun day.  What was the process of selecting a football
fan club for the children’s school event as no other Free School have used
fan clubs

9.         On page 11 of the Prospectus you offer “Be Time, Tailored
learning extra-curricular activities”.  What activities are being offered
and how are these being funded?

10.       How will Sikhism be taught to non Sikhs, will the school be
preaching Sikhism looking to convert young children into the faith

 

In answer to your questions I would like to inform you that this request
does not come under the remit of the Council. Anand Primary School is a
Free School and is not the responsibility of the Local Authority.  If you
require this information you will need to submit your request directly to
the school.

request and wish to make a complaint or request a review of our decision,
