What is private school in England?

[glen]

Public school in England is the same as private school in America, correct?

 

[maddogchen]

yes

edit: in England: private school = low end public school in US.
public school = private school in US.
And they have one more level where the sons of nobles and certain rich people and high society go.

So, is a private school paid for by the government?

Bording school - High class: pupils stay within the grounds all term (etan,etc)

Private school - Upper class: Payed by the parents - however the governement can pay for exceptional students (Grammar)

Puplic school - generaly everyone else (Comprehensive).

In England we have:
State schools (Paid for by the state).
and
Independent schools (Fee charging).

Independent schools were previously known as private schools. Particularly high class private schools were known as 'public' schools, despite being nothing of the sort.

So, the not as elite Independant schools are called Private schools?
Jeremy Clarkson made a comment about cars to take kids to private school in, and I was wondering exactly what he ment.
