Types of Schools in Salford
Salford has many different types of schools. They are usually grouped into two main categories: state-funded schools and independent schools. Each type offers a unique learning environment.
State-Funded Schools
State-funded schools are free to attend. The government pays for them, so families do not have to pay tuition fees. Most students in the UK go to state-funded schools. These schools follow the national curriculum, which sets out what students should learn.
Primary Schools
Primary schools are for younger children, usually from ages 4 or 5 up to 10 or 11. They teach subjects like reading, writing, maths, and science. They also help children develop social skills. Salford has many primary schools across its different areas.
