Ownership and liability: The School is in the public sector as it is owned by the government. There limited Liability (this means that the government are not personally liable to any debt the business might have) as the school is given a budget by the government which they must

Primary schools cater for children aged 4-11. While at primary school, children start with the Early Years (Foundation) curriculum, followed by Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum.

Every independent school must be registered with the Department for Education (DfE). To ensure the school maintains the standards set out in its registration document, standards are regularly monitored by either Ofsted, or another inspectorate.

Community schools are run and owned by the Local Authority, which may support the school through the local community and also by providing a support service. They will determine the admission policy, also, they will develop the use of school facilities by local groups for example.

In 2014, 49.8 million children attended public schools; 4.5 million children attended private schools, with 2 million in Catholic schools according to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. A Catholic school is a private school or education ministry of the Catholic Church. On the other hand a public school is a school funded by public funds and taxes. A Catholic education includes religious study combined with mainstream academics. A public education is just a mainstream education with no religious study added into the curriculum. Catholic schools and public schools are different and alike in many ways because of how they run and work, the many pros and cons of both, and the similarities between the two.

What is the role of public schools? Who should be governing public schools? This paper will address each side of these educational issues as well as offer a position statement and an action plan.

Students are forced to decide whether to attend a school in a failing public system, or to attend a parochial school. State stipends are limited to $2,250, which is not enough to cover tuition costs of traditional private schools. The stipends provided by the state are enough to cover the costs of tuition at religiously affiliated schools. Most students who are aware of this program decide not to enter into the public system, which in the long run facilitates the destruction of the public system.

Public Schools. Public schools as part of community plays important role to the TBT, not only having the stake in how well TBT completes its mission and objective, but also as the beneficiaries of the TBT’s services for their students. The Public Schools have the authority to send their students to the TBT to get the services from TBT.

The approach used by the Conservatives is a marketization of all schools, creation of new specialist schools and encouraging parents to show the preferences of school choice for their child (Whitty, 2008). During that time there have been developed large amount of Left-leaning teaching unions that were supporting the ideas of the Conservatives (Whitty, 2008). Conservatives have introduced the system of assessments and The National curriculum, which had to control welfare of schools (Whitty, 2008). One of the main advantages brought by the Conservatives was the decision to fund children, who were academically able to be educated in the best schools in the UK (Edwards et al., 1989; Haydn, 2004). The other great innovation done by the Conservatives is the allowance to publish the league tables of schools in order to assist parents in their choice to attract more students to premiere schools (West and Bailey, 2013). By the 1986 Act City Technology Colleges were introduced. Their main emphasize was done on studying modern technologies and sciences (Whitty, 2008). However, influence of Local Educational Authorities was reduced (Whitty, 2008). The Conservatives failed to control school outcomes and achievements. They overestimated control over public sector (Whitty, 2008). The Conservatives have produced more realistic and coordinated view on educations, where parents are seen as consumers (Trowler, 2003).

The Oxford English Dictionary defines community as ‘the people of a district or country considered collectively, especially in the context of social values and responsibilities’ (The Oxford Dictionary, 2015). Throughout this essay, community will be discussed with a specific focus on the surrounding population of School X; namely, the staff, pupils and the parents. In order to understand the relationship between School X and its community, it is essential to discuss its creation, and both the national and local context within which the school resides.

Within the educational industry, there are a few levels or facets to it: public, private and higher education. A vast majority of the schools receive funding from the local tax base so they are considered to be government jobs with typically excellent benefits. A large part of the job as a school district account is to make sure that the monies are spent by following strict guidelines determined by the government and the regulations set forth.
