Seven percent of British school children 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 a term for a private nursery to £3,000 a term or more for a secondary boarding school(pupils board, i.e. live at the school). Some independent schools are called prep schools because they prepare the children for the Common Entrance Exam which they take at the age of 13. This exam is for entry into the best schools.
The most famous schools are called "public schools" and they have a long history and tradition. 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. Children 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.

Getting ready to go back to school in the good old days of, say, 1998 meant a few trips to the mall and a quick check of the bus route. This year, for many parents, there are some new things to remember: the teacher’s E-mail address, the school’s website and which night online homework help chat will be offered.
