All in- dependent schools must be registered with, and meet certain regulations set by, the DfES (Department I for Education and Skills). In Wales the schools are registered with the Welsh Office Education Depart- ment (WOED). Independent schools are usually funded by fees charged to parents and manyare run as chari- table trusts under a Board of Governors; a few schools are still privately owned (private schools). Good independent schools place great emphasis on the development of wider strengths and interests as well as the fulfilment of academic potential. Exam results are often impres- sive, but many students also achieve outstanding success in music, sport, art and drama. Some independent schools are highly academically se- lective, some specialise in helping children who need more individual attention. Most schools have some sort of entry selection ei. ther by examination, inter— view, current school report More scope: Independent schools have the ability to develop wider strengths and interests or a combination of these. Pupils at independent schools may be day or boarding pupils, with many schools having a mixture of day, full boarding and week- ly boarding pupils. Schools can be single sex or co-edu. cational. Some may be sin- gle sex from 11-16 years but have a coeducational sixth form. Pupils may attend inde- pendent schools from to 19 years of age, (in a few cases older than this) and have varying abilities. Some schools are specialised. for example choir. music. bal- let, dance and theatrecen- tred schools. Many also have provision to cater for those pupils needing extra help. for ex ample with dyslexia. or indeed gifted pupils who require advanced work.
