Seven per cent of British schoolchildren go to private schools called independent schools. There are 2.400 independent schools and they have been growing in number and popularity since the mid-1980s.
Parents pay for these schools, and fees vary from about 250 pounds a term fora private nursery to 3.000 pounds a term or more for a secondary boarding school. Most independent schools are called prep schools because they prepare the children for the Common Entrance Exam which they take at the age of 11. This exam is for entry into the best schools.
The most famous schools are called public schools and they have a long history and traditions. It is often necessary to put your child’s name on a waiting list at birth to be sure he or she gets a place. Child ren of wealthy or aristocratic families often go to the same public school as their parents and their grandparents. Eton is the best known of these schools.
The majority of independent secondary schools, including public schools, are single-sex, although in recent years girls have been allowed to join the sixth forms of boys’ schools. Independent schools also include religious schools and schools for ethnic minorities.
Семь процентов британских школьников учатся в частных школах, которые называются независимые школы.
В Британии 2400 независимых школ. С середины 80-х годов растет их число и популярность.
За обучение в этих школах платят родители. Оплата колеблется от 250 фунтов в семестр за содержание в частном детском саду до трех тысяч фунтов и больше за обучение в средних школах-интернатах. Большинство частных школ называется подготовительными школами, потому что в них готовят детей к общему вступительному экзамену, который они сдают в 11 лет. Этот экзамен дает возможность поступить в лучшие школы.
Наиболее известные школы называются общественные школы. Они имеют длинную историю и свои традиции. Чтобы быть уверенным, что ваш ребенок получит место в такой школе, необходимо внести его имя в список на очередь как только он родился. Дети из состоятельных и аристократических семей часто учатся в той же школе, где учились их родители, их дедушки и бабушки. Итон самая известная из таких школ.
Большинство частных школ, включая общественные школы, — это школы, где обучаются дети одного пола. Хотя в последние годы в 6-м классе девочкам и мальчикам разрешается учиться вместе. К независимым частным школам относятся также религиозные школы и школы для этнических меньшинств.
