Of course, the cost of such a school would be higher than the cost of educating that child in a maintained mainstream day school.
I realise this is an impossible arrangement for a day school.
There are also one day school and 71 residential schools for children of this type provided by voluntary bodies.
The term "day school" has been interpreted as covering any school where the pupils receive not less than 25 hours a week instruction.
That is contingent upon the individual scholar having spent two years previously in an elementary day school.
For all this, the boarding school is a better preparation for life than the day school.
This means helping those parents who choose a boarding school education and those parents who choose a day school.
It is an ordinary type of day school and the fees including extras come to about £14 a term.
