grant-maintained school
In the UK, a state school that has voluntarily withdrawn itself from local authority support (an action called opting out), and instead is maintained directly by central government. The schools are managed by their own boards of governors. In 1996 there were 1,090 grant-maintained schools, of which 60% were secondary schools.
