Wingate School is a British international school in Arona, Tenerife, Spain. It achieved the rating of "Outstanding" by British Schools Overseas (BSO) inspectors in 2023. [1] It teaches from Foundation to Sixth Form (3-18 years).
The school was founded as a primary school by two parents in 1982, and it initially had 7 students: their own two sons and five other expatriate children from the local area. [1] The mother is still involved in the school and one of the two sons remains an active proprietor. [1]
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit Tenerife in 2020, holidaymakers on the island were quarantined in their hotel. The school staff organised donations from local bookshops and others to provide books and games for the stranded tourists. [2]
In response to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the school offered free tuition to children up to 13 years old who had been forced out of their homes in the conflict. The offer was limited to 24 children (2 per class) in order to keep class sizes down. [3] [4]
The school celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2022 with five of the original seven pupils returning for the event. [1]
The school is divided into sections which reflect the key stages in a similar way to most UK schools: foundation, primary, seniors and sixth form, and follows the national curriculum for England. [1]
When the school was inspected in 2022 it had 433 pupils, all in full-time education with the school. 34 of these were in the infant age range (3-5), 173 juniors (6-11), 197 secondary (12-16) and 29 in further education (aged 17-18). [1]
School choice is a term for education options that allow students and families to select alternatives to public schools. It is the subject of fierce debate in various state legislatures across the United States.
In the United Kingdom, private schools or independent schools are fee-charging schools, some endowed and governed by a board of governors and some in private ownership. They are independent of many of the regulations and conditions that apply to state-funded schools. For example, the schools do not have to follow the National Curriculum, although many such schools do. Historically the term "private school" referred to a school in private ownership, in contrast to an endowed school subject to a trust or of charitable status. Many of the older independent schools catering for the 13–18 age range in England and Wales are known as public schools, seven of which were the subject of the Public Schools Act 1868. The term "public school" meant they were then open to pupils regardless of where they lived or their religion. Prep (preparatory) schools educate younger children up to the age of 13 to prepare them for entry to the public schools and other secondary schools.
Education in England is overseen by the United Kingdom's Department for Education. Local government authorities are responsible for implementing policy for public education and state-funded schools at a local level.

It controls the development and administration of state schools receiving taxpayers' funding, but also has an advisory and supervisory role in respect of private schools.

Education in the Republic of Ireland is a primary, secondary and higher education. In recent years further education has grown immensely with 51% of working age adults having completed higher education by 2020. Growth in the economy since the 1960s has driven much of the change in the education system. For universities there are student service fees, which students are required to pay on registration, to cover examinations, insurance and registration costs.
Free education is education funded through government spending or charitable organizations rather than tuition funding. Many models of free higher education have been proposed. Primary school and other comprehensive or compulsory education is free in many countries. Tertiary education is also free in certain countries, including post-graduate studies in the Nordic countries. The Article 13 of International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights ensures the right to free education at primary education and progressive introduction of it at secondary and higher education as the right to education.
