How many private schools are there in Nottingham?

Question 2

What is the difference between an independent school and a private school?

Accepted Answer

Nothing — "independent school" and "private school" mean the same thing in the UK: a fee-paying school that operates outside local-authority control. Adding to the confusion, some of the oldest independent schools are traditionally known as "public schools".

Question 3

Who inspects private schools in Nottingham?

Accepted Answer

Independent schools belonging to the Independent Schools Council are inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) rather than Ofsted, while non-association independent schools are inspected by Ofsted. Where a school has a published Ofsted rating, we show it on its profile.
