Foundation school

Foundation school

In England and Wales, a foundation school is a type of school which has a degree of independence from the local education authority. Foundation schools were set up under the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 to replace grant-maintained schools. Unlike grant-maintained schools they do not receive direct funding from the central government. However, they resemble grant-maintained schools in that their school governors control admissions to the school, employ the school's staff and own the school's estate.
