Should parents be able to set up their own 'free' schools?

That is why free schools may well be a good thing.

The free school became one of the area's first public schools in 1872.

Let me be clear what I want to see from free schools.

I also do not particularly like the idea of religious groups setting up free schools.

The first free school has been given the green light to open in September.

You know what they say - there's no such thing as a free school.

In a free school, this is not exactly a simple matter.

The kids are much older now, and one will move to a more commercial free school up the road.

Since 1833, the building has served as a free school.
