Private schools (also known as ‘independent schools’) charge fees to attend instead of being funded by the government. Pupils do not have to follow the national curriculum .
All private schools must be registered with the government and are inspected regularly.
All school reports are published online by the organisation responsible for inspecting them. Find out from the school which organisation inspects them.
Half of all independent schools are inspected by Ofsted .
The Independent Schools Inspectorate inspects schools that are members of the associations that form the Independent Schools Council.
Some other schools are inspected by the School Inspection Service .

My Top Schools has carefully collated schools in England to find the best schools for your children. Select an area below to find information on the best UK independent schools.
A private school, also named an independent or public school in England UK is a fee paying organisation where parents pay an annual fee for their child to be educated outside of the state education system.
As you can see on this page the fees charge vary by area, with the most schools and highest fees tending to be in the south of England in areas like the capital London.
Across the whole of the UK the lowest day fees are £141 per year, and the highest day fees are £43,068 per year. The lowest boarding fees are £4,100 per year, and the highest boarding fees are £69,325 per year.
The cost of private schooling varies a lot by region, school and the type of education you want your child to receive. For example the fees for 'day schooling' where your child doesn't reside at the school are far lower than 'boarding' fees where the child has accommodation and lives at the school during term time.
Generally costs for independent school fees are higher in the south of England in London, Essex, Surrey, Kent, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire etc. Whereas costs for independent schools in the north of England are lower.

Labour is right to debate the future of these unjust institutions, which at last are no longer seen as untouchable
A few years back, I finished a PhD on how to tackle Britain’s unequal life chances – which, among other measures, included abolishing private schools. Dusty academia seemed the home for this sort of proposal, one that has long filled endless papers but never quite makes it off the page and into reality.
That is no longer the case. In a few days, the Labour party will debate the future of private schools. The grassroots group Labour Against Private Schools (Laps) will bring a motion to the annual party conference in Brighton calling for the full integration of state and private schools, including nationalising the endowments of the hugely wealthy public schools. It has support from six constituency parties so far and the backing of senior party figures, with the shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, putting his weight behind the motion this week. A leaked memo to the Telegraph last week noted that the party is already considering making a manifesto pledge to remove tax breaks from the sector – while leaving the door open to getting rid of the schools altogether.
Removing charitable status is rightly no longer seen as radical. In 2017, that well-known lefty Michael Gove declared that private schools were “welfare junkies” , calling the VAT exemption “egregious state support to the already wealthy so that they might buy advantage for their own children”. The classic argument that private schools deserve tax breaks because they provide bursaries to poorer children is as thin as paper: in 2017, only 1% of private school pupils were schooled for free, while figures show “financial assistance” is considerably more likely to go to affluent middle-class families than children in need.
It’s exciting, then, that the conversation is no longer restricted to this. For decades, private schools have held an untouchable air in this country. We know very well the damage they cause – both to the children whose education is harmed by losing advantaged peers and their influential parents, and to a society that is stifled by positions of power handed out on the basis of wealth rather than talent. We know how bizarre this set-up is – that 7% of schoolchildren will go on to control much of the media, the judiciary and parliament. And yet it is greeted with borderline rabid resistance by many commentators, while even those on the left have been reluctant to argue for comprehensive solutions. It typifies the worst of class privilege, where a small section of society is permitted to buy power and influence despite all the evidence of the damage that causes, and the rest of us must shrug our shoulders and accept this as an inevitability.
What feels different now is that these ideas are becoming mainstream at a tipping point in this country. Years of austerity have highlighted the resources gap between the highly funded private sector and the starved state sector. When many working-class children don’t have basic equipment in class, the dominance of elite schools feels even more obscene. The calamity of Eton alumni taking their turn at Downing Street , meanwhile, is now a real-time display of how dysfunctional a nation becomes when structured to be forever run by a tiny pocket of the wealthy.
The abolition of private schools is not an outlandish idea but rather an extension of what we already do. Societies constantly set limits on how far a parent can go in giving their child an advantage in life – that’s why it’s illegal for a mother to bribe a university admissions officer to give her son a place, and unethical for a father to do his daughter’s GCSE coursework. This is because it is widely understood that no
