independent school
In the UK, a school run privately without direct assistance from the state. IN 1998, just over 7% of children attended private fee-paying schools. There are some 2,420 independent schools in Britain, with about 600,000 pupils. A group of old-established and prestigious independent schools are known as public schools. Pupil numbers fell back for the first time in a decade in 1993.
