A. Milne . The school traditionally encourages independent and individual thinking. Boys are admitted to the Under School at age seven , and to the main school at age thirteen ; girls are admitted only at sixteen. The school has around 750 pupils ; around a third are boarders, of whom most go home for the weekends, after Saturday morning school.

The Good Schools Guide says of the school: "For the right boy or girl, simply the best ," also mentioning ( nimetama ) that the atmosphere is "famously relaxed and liberal as has been felt appropriate in a school which thrives ( edenema ) on the individuality of its members ."

responsible for England and Wales alone-Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own departments. None of these central authorities exercises much control over the details of what actually happens in the country's educational institutes. Central government does not prescribe a detailed programme of learning or determine what books and materials should be used. One of the reasons for this level of independence is that the school system has been influenced by the public-school tradition that a school is its own community and develop a sense of distinctiveness. Schools usually divide their year into three `terms', all schools have a `half- term'(half-term holiday), lasting a few days or a week in the middle of each term. At the age of 16 people are free to leave school if they want to. Exams: GCSE-exams taken by most fifteen-to sixteen-year-olds in England, Wales and Northern Ireland

West. Alfred's men took London in 886 and repaired the walls of the old Roman city. In 1016 the Vikings attacked London again but the Saxons fought them off. The attacks ceased when the Danish king Cnut came to power in 1017. Cnut managed to unite the Danes with the Anglo-Saxons, and invited Danish merchants to settle in the city.

Magna Carte became a part of the common law. In later centuries it came to be regarded as a document fundamental to the protection of individual liberty. *Henry III and Westminister Abbey ­ Westminster Abbey was rebuilt by King Henry III in the new Gothic style, invented in northern France. Henry spent a lot of of his own money on the project. No other medieval monarch ever spent as much on a single church as Henry did at Westminster.
