Can private schools in Britain afford it?
It is free for British citizens to receive national education, and private schools have to pay their own tuition fees, so it gives the impression that private schools can only be afforded by the rich. So what are the conditions for enjoying tuition remission? Do private schools also offer scholarships?

High tuition fees

The average tuition fee for private boarding schools is 8780 pounds per semester, while that for day schools is 3903 pounds per semester. The tuition fee for attending private schools ranges from 1 1709 to more than 26340 per year.

Tuition fee remission

Among the 508,000 students in private schools, 65,438+064,000 students received tuition subsidies, equivalent to 33.2% of all students in private schools. One-third of students in private schools enjoy tuition remission, so it is absolutely impossible to say that "you can't go to private schools without money".

scholarship

Teachers, university lecturers and police all have the ability to send their children to private schools, but things are different now, so the number of parents applying for tuition fee remission subsidies has tripled in the past six years. In the past two years, the number of performance-based scholarships has remained unchanged, but the number of scholarships awarded according to family income has increased by 1 1.4%.
