provided school

noun
(In the United Kingdom) a public elementary school provided by the local education authority, under the Education Act of 1902; compare board-school; opposed to voluntary school.
  • Originally the funding for provided or board schools fell wholly upon the rates, whereas the funding for voluntary schools fell upon the managers of the schools with the assistance of a Parliamentary grant. In provided schools no religious catechism of any particular denomination might be taught, whereas in voluntary schools any religious instruction might be given. Although the funding of provided and voluntary schools is now essentially the same, the distinction as to religious instruction continues..

Origin

Early 20th century; earliest use found in The Westminster Gazette.
