England used to have large numbers of small pre-preprep schools, although they used to have a varirtu of
different names. Today largely due to business matters, many prep schools have set up attached pre-prep
schools to ensure a continued number of new entrants to the prep school. Also the economics of education
mean that a certain minimum number of children are needed to run a school. The pre-prep helps to meet those critical numbers. Thus there are now far fewer
independent pre-prep schools. SSome of the independent pre-prep schools maintain traditional school uniforms. A few even retain the traditional peaked caps.
