What Are the different types of school?

When it comes to choosing a school for your child, you want all the information you can get. Firstly, what are the different types of school. This video has the answers. Basically, there are three main types of school – state (funded by the government and run by local authorities), academies (funded by government but not run by local authorities) and independent or private schools (funded by parents and run independently). Of course, things are not quite as simple as that! We’ll explain to you exactly what local authority-maintained state schools and their variety (Community schools, Foundation schools, Voluntary Aided Schools, Voluntary Controlled Schools and Special Schools), as well as Academies, Independent or Private Schools, and more besides (Alternative Education, City Technology Colleges, Faith Schools, Grammar Schools, Prep Schools, State Boarding Schools, Studio Schools and University Technical Colleges). You’ll find out about all of these in this video. Alternatively, you can read a written version here: https://www.educationquizzes.com/knowledge-bank/what-are-the-different-types-of-school/
