Public School

Contrary to popular opinion, a public school in the UK is NOT a government funded state school, but rather an elite, fee-paying independent school - more commonly known as simply a "private school". Originally they were called "public" as they were open to anyone no matter their location, profession or denomination, they have evolved into schools generally reserved for the middle-and-upper classes, although due to most of them being registered charities (for tax benefits), they are required to admit a small number of less well-off students on bursaries and scholarships. Fees as of early 2025, including the newly introduced VAT, generally range from £8K to £14K per term for day students.

Although public schools are independent schools, not all independent schools are public schools. Public schools are usually larger, more historic, more expensive and all-round more prestigious.

Famous examples of public schools include:

Eton College
Dulwich College
Millfield School
Bedales School
Rugby School
Uppingham School

Oakham School
Fettes College
Latymer Upper School has been nominated for the "Best Public School" award by Tatler.

public school garbage

A public school is a school that runs on public funds, usually government-imposed taxes. It's free for everyone to go to a primary or secondary public school. ... Public universities are also sometimes called public schools in the US, and while they're not free, they are less expensive for state residents.
People who attend US public schools are uncivil, worthless pieces of trash who bully others or stand idly by while aware that fellow students are being hurt.
Don't be bothered by that school bully because they are just public school garbage. Someone will murder them eventually.
