State boarding schools are government funded, (much like Hong Kong local schools). The tuition fees are paid by the UK government, but parents must pay the boarding fees. This privilege is only reserved for pupils holding British or EU passports. Pupils study a similar range of subjects as those in independent schools, but class sizes are larger and facilities are not as extensive.
UK Boarding School
UK boarding schools are usually referring to the independent schools which are providing boarding services in the United Kingdom. They usually have a well-established history and are of high quality of education. The UK boarding schools attract many overseas students because of their renowned academic achievements. Many take UK boarding schools as a method to get into a famous university in the UK.
Another kind of UK boarding school is the state boarding school. Unlike independent schools, state boarding schools are funded by the UK government. The students need to pay for the boarding fees only. This privilege is only reserved for pupils holding British or EU passports. Pupils study a similar range of subjects as those in independent schools, but class sizes are larger and facilities are not as extensive.
