Independent British School in uk

Oct. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- In the United Kingdom, independent schools are those that are not financed by the national or local government’s taxation system. Private sources fund these schools in the form of long term charitable endowments and gifts and tuition fees. These schools are therefore free from the need to accept “maintained status” imposed on other schools that accept financing from the state.

In an Independent British school that is a member of the ISC’s affiliated organizations, inspection is conducted by the Independent School Inspectorate. This inspectorate comes under the framework of agreement between the Office for Standards in Education, Government’s Department for Children, Schools and Families and the ISC. National inspectorates inspect schools not affiliated to ISC in England.

Independent schools charge exorbitant fees for day school as well as boarding students. Fees for boarding students average £23,000 per annum and £11,000 for day students. This is apart from the frequent, unpredictable costs for extra-curricular activities, equipment and uniform.

Being academically selective, the independent British schools use the Common Entrance Examination for students aged between 11 and 13. To attract the more able pupils, schools offer scholarships and aim to enhance their average results. Those who perform poorly are asked to leave and the independent schools replace them with students who perform well.

The quality of education being very high, the independent school students have greater chances of attaining an A* grade at the GCSE. Visit More Information:- http://www.schoolsshow.co.uk
