Public school (United Kingdom)

A Public School or Independent School in the UK is a school that is not funded by government agencies, but instead through school fees, donations and legacies.

The oldest of these facilities were designed to provide gifted children, regardless of parental income an education. Hence the name Public School dates. In addition to the so -sponsored students (which often form a small minority in their school ), paying students are accepted whose parents pay school fees partially significant.

Under a Public School in the strict sense is understood in the UK, a school that is performed according to the Public Schools Act of 1868. From the Public Schools Act of 1868, a group of nine schools was affected on the basis of studies of the Clarendon Commission in the years 1861 to 1864 by the British Parliament. The law should reform and regulate these schools. The schools were open only boy and had been originally established as foundations. They are referred to as "public " school, because they took not only students of a particular geographical area and the recording was not limited to members of the nobility. Although the schools were built from charitable foundations, they collect all fees for lessons and accommodation of students. The law stipulates that schools are not directly under the (school) legislation or the crown, but they are each regulated by a Board of Governors.

The nine schools were affected by the law:
