The Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS, formerly Independent Association of Preparatory Schools) is a schools association, representing around 670 preparatory schools.[1]
IAPS was founded in 1892, as the Incorporated Association of Preparatory Schools.
In 1981 IAPS merged with the Association of Headmistresses of Preparatory Schools, and ten years later moved its headquarters from Kensington to its current offices in Leamington Spa.
In 2007 the Incorporated Association of Preparatory Schools changed its legal title to IAPS, and became known as the Independent Association of Preparatory Schools. In 2010, this was shortened to the current form.[2]
Organisationedit
IAPS elects a chairman every three years, having changed from a one-year cycle in 2015. The current Chairman is Andrew Nott who will serve until September 2024. Vice-chairs continue to be elected annually.[3]
Christopher King has been chief executive of IAPS since 2018. Mark Brotherton is the current Director of Education Services, Emilie Darwin is Director of Membership Services and Jackie Moore is Head of Finance.[3]
Much of the work of IAPS is directed by various committees, made up of current headteachers of member schools.
IAPS's Board meets once a term and the association holds an annual conference every September.
Roleedit
IAPS provides its members with a national voice on matters of independent prep school education, and seeks to have a positive influence on public opinion of prep schools,
Members are provided with advice, information and support on educational and school management issues, and receive regular internal and external mailings via the organisation.
Schools are encouraged to share their news stories with IAPS, many of which are featured in the association's partner magazine, Attain.[4]
IAPS arranges a number of developmental courses for its members,[5] as well as sports events for its schools. The association also hosts a jobs website advertising vacancies in its member schools.[6]
