El Cid Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Aren't all our best schools run by private companies? The state of the economy appears to have dampened the rate of increase in school fees for the first time in many years. The average annual fee for a day pupil is more than £13,000 a year – a rise of more than 3% compared with last year, but 37% higher than the £9,600 average in 2008. In comparison, state secondary schools in England receive an average of £4,500 per pupil. This amount varies widely by local authority, from £4,000 in Cambridgeshire and Leicestershire to £7,000 in Tower Hamlets. There is extra funding for children from disadvantaged backgrounds or with special needs, as well as additional payments depending on the type of school and location. http://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/may/01/private-schools-in-uk-attracting-record-numbers-of-students Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
