 Boarding school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boarding schools are sometimes referred to as public schools in the UK and as "private school" in American English.
Many boarding schools are self-contained within their own walls, while others such as Eton and Westminster have buildings and grounds in various streets in the neighbourhood of the school.
Most societies decline to take boarding schools as the preferred option for the upbringing of their children, except in British societies or in its former colonies; in England, India, and former African colonies of Great Britain, for example, boarding schools are one of the preferred modes of education.

 Independent/public/boarding schools in the uk (britain, england).
Schools are often single-sex boys schools or girls schools, although many boys schools accept girls in the sixth form (between the ages of 16 and 18).
The expression "public school" can be confusing: in many countries other than England a "public school" is a school which is run by the government, which is not the case with these schools.
Most of these schools are mixed sex (some are single sex), and they usually cater for students between the ages of 11 and 18 (some take students from the age of 7, or only up to the age of 16).

Last year, 75 independent preparatory schools (including Rosemead) achieved 100% at level 4 or above in all three subjects, putting them all in joint first place at the top of the league tables.
This year however, the tables published in the Sunday Times for independent schools are based upon the schools' results at level 5 or above (the tables for state primary schools are still being ranked on the results for level 4).
This would have put the school in 30th place in the Sunday Times list of the Top 100 Preparatory Schools in the UK, but due to an error the school was misreported as achieving a lower total of 207 putting it at 43rd position.
