Independent primary schoolThere is also private education in Britain at this stage . The preparatory schools, which are popularly known as prep schools, are independent schools for children from 7 or 8 up to 13. he system of private schools at elementary level is perhaps from 3 to 13 including preschool education. Their curriculum differs considerably from that of the primary school, since its main purpose is the “common entrance” examination at the age of 13, for admission to a “Public school”

Secondary education
state secondary school At this stage of education, there are various schools.They are grammar schools, comprehensive secondary schools, secondary modern schools and “Public” schools. The first three schools belong to the state system, while public schools belong to the category of the independent schools. Very few grammar schools and secondary schools belong to the old system. All these schools are the products of various periods in history.

Independent secondary school Public schools, unlike prep schools, are not private in the fullest sense. They are generally controlled by governing bodies,who are appointed as trustees to keep alive foundations originally begun by charitable institutions or by rich and philanthropic people; they do not try to make any financial profits, but only to balance their budgets. Their income is partly from profits and endowments,mainly from fees paid by parents. Most public schools,particularly the most eminent ones, are called by the name of the town or village in which they are located; Some are called “College” and some are not. The 4 famous of all are Eton College, Harrow School, Winchester College and Rugby School.

Higher education
Higher education,also known as tertiary education, constitutes an important part of the Britain education system. Higher education in Britain is not compulsory and students have to pay tuition and fees.It is for this reason that English universities are called private institutions. Britain has more than 90 universities and about one-sixth of the students are postgraduates.
