The different various types of residential arrangements are day schools and boarding schools. Almost all state schools and many private schools are day schools. Many private schools have traditionally been boarding schools. These included some of the best known British schools. There have been major changes in private education in recent years, especially the boarding aspect. This has changed significantly in recent years, especially for the younger children. The situation has lso become more compicated with the popularity of weekly boarding and various types of flexible boarding.
Most English state schools are day schools, school the children went to during the day and came home in the afternoon. This was the arrangement fir the vast majority of English schools as it was the way the state schools were organized. There were also many private day schools. All of the English cities had day schools. This was the less expensive option for private education. Day schools have become increasingly popular in recent yeats even for parents that can afford the substantially higher bording school fees.
Some private schools, referred to as public schools in Britain developed as boarding establishments. This proved to be the case in Britain much more than any other European country. HBC is not yet sure why boarding estanlishments proved more important in Englnd thn other European countries. Some of the schools like Eton, Harrow, Rugby, and others are some of the most well known schools in the world. Many of these schools were very rough places for boys, as fictionalized in Tom Brown's Schooldays. School authorities in the late 19th century exeted more control over the pupils and man more schools were organized to provide educated people for Britain's developing industrial econonomy and expanding Empire. In addition many schools for younger boys, preparatory schools, were opened to better address the needs for pre-teen boys. Like the public schools, many of these schools were boarding establishments. While many private schools have traditionally been boarding schools, all this has changed in recent years, especially for the younger children. The situation has lso become more compicated with the popularity of weekly boarding and various types of flexible boarding.
