The management office of the Saidpur Trust Estate comprising Saidpur, Shovana and Charbhadra of the district was at Daulatpur. Manager of this estate, Babu Khetragopal Bandyopadhyay, planned the establishment of the school and sought help of the deputy collector, Babu Brahmanath Som, who was also the officer in charge of the estate. The school was established on 2 February 1867. Initially, it was a minor school and was named Daulatpur-Saidpur Trust Estate School. Later, the name was changed to Daulatpur Minor School. Babu Abhayakumar Sen was appointed its first headmaster. In 1870, 13 students from this school appeared in the Medium English Final Examinations and 12 passed. Students of the school continued to perform well in examinations and in recognition, the school was upgraded to a High English School in February 1875. On that time Muslim students were very few in number and management decided to open a Madrasa section. It was well appreciated and good number of Muslim students are attracted to the school.[1]
The school was nationalized in 2016.[2]
