British Independent Schools

British independent schools are private educational institutions in the UK that operate independently of government funding and national curricula. They are funded through tuition fees and often have their own admissions processes, curricula, and governance structures. These schools typically offer a high standard of education, extracurricular activities, and facilities, preparing students for exams like GCSEs and A-Levels. Many have long histories, strong traditions, and notable alumni. While they are accessible to families from various backgrounds, they often come with higher fees compared to state schools. They also provide opportunities for tailored education and enhanced extracurricular experiences.
