Preparatory Schools prepare young gentlemen up to the age ofthirteen, when they arc eligible for the Public Schools.
These schools were founded as charitable institutions for the sons of deserving but poor citizens.
At first they gave a basically religious education, later branching out into mathematics, philosophy, and some limited natural science.
By the end of the nineteenth century, however, these schools had become the private preserve of the aristocracy and then of the wealthy, commercial and industrial families - the ruling class, in fact.
Although the public schools are not numerically important, they exert a tremendous influence on the social structure of Great Britain.
Only the richest families can afford to send their sons to these schools, but even then it is not always possible to get their children accepted because of the long waiting list.
Every boy must formally present himself as a candidate for the Common Examination for Entrance to Public Schools, even though he may have been provisionally accepted long ago.
These schools are also characterised by a high staffing ratio, the teaching is personal, and some of the older schools achieve remarkably high academic standards.
However, the title "High School" is not restricted to schools of this type, some schools controlled by the local education authorities are also entitled "High Schools".

Многие частные школы были основаны в шестнадцатом веке.
Название «публичная школа» обманчиво. На самом деле это независимые частные средние школы, взимающие непомерно высокую плату за обучение.
Почти все руководящие посты в армии, правительстве (и другие высокооплачиваемые государственные должности), церкви и коммерческих структурах занимают выпускники частных школ.
Огромное внимание в частных школах уделяется спорту.
