Community schools
Community schools are owned and maintained by the council, which sets the admissions policy, including the criteria used for allocating places at schools that receive more applications than they have places.
Voluntary aided (church) schools
Voluntary aided (church) schools are maintained by the council which pays the teachers’ salaries and the day-to-day running costs of the schools. Generally the buildings are owned by a church. Schools are either Roman Catholic (RC) or Church of England (CofE). The governing body of the school sets the admission policy and criteria.
Academies
An academy is a school that is run by an academy trust and its governors independently of the local authority, and is funded entirely by central government. The governing body is responsible for setting the admissions policy.
Free schools
A free school is an all-ability school which is run by the governing body independently of the local authority, and is funded directly by central government. They are set up to meet the needs of the local community. The governors are responsible for setting the admissions policy.
