Talk:Grant-maintained school
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is this basically the same as direct grant schools of the 1970's? -Mark 13:58 17th March 2006
hasn't the 'grant maintaned' status now been stopped, or had it's name change? -- Joolz 18:27, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Yes - GM schools are now foundation schools and no longer receive funding directly from central government although they continue to have greater independence from the LEA than community schools e.g. they control their own admissions (in consultation with the LEA), employ their own staff and own their own estate. I'll amend the article accordingly/ Valiantis 14:16, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Expansion request
Significant and controversial topic in UK education, but that's about as much as I know. Quick Google search showed controversy, for example, over Muslim grant-maintained schools with backing from, Cat Stevens . I would really appreciate someone taking my stub and turning it into a real article. --Cje 11:49, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
