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.

The Public

Did nothing but deride, demonize, stalk, harass, mock, foist labor on, and ignore.

Hym "And now you feel entitled to the proceeds! It shouldn't be the billionaires who stole it benefiting from it! It shouldn't be the guy the stole it from... It should be you! It should be the public who did NOTHING! The ones who did nothing but reject, shit on, and humiliate the guy who actually did it. I'll kill your fucking kids you pieces of shit. Don't think for a second you'll get away with it."
