A friend has these in her pond that I'm wondering whether to put in the school pond.
Is anyone able to ID them both (the flower and pond weed) so I can research what they are and how to deal with them.
Thank you kindly.

Could the "fried egg" flower be Water Crowfoot ? The oxygenating weed is on the tip of my tongue but I can't remember its name!
Weed - Mares tail?
Here's a close up of the pond weed. It has smothered my friends pond, so thinking maybe not the best thing to introduce somewhere else.
Looks like red stemmed parrots feather. This is VERY invasive, so much so that to my knowledge it is now illegal for aquatics shops to sell it.
Think it's Hornwort., and flag iris, both native.
I think the weed is parrots feather too...
Yes it's parrots feather
Definitely doesn't look like the Hornwort I bought for my pond.
If you're plants are British Native you can probably identify them here http://www.puddleplants.co.uk/oxygenator-floating-plants/

It's Myriophyllum aquaticum and it's very invasive something you should never under any circustances allow it out. The other is not flag
The yellow flower is Ranunculus lingua
