The school's land and buildings are sometimes owned by a charitable foundation. The governing body may contribute towards the capital costs of running the school but, even so, the bulk of the funding comes from the state. In the past, voluntary aided schools were linked to either the Church Of England or the Roman Catholic Church , and there have been schools linked to other faith groups but there are now an increasing number of non-denominational schools. An example of a non-denominational voluntary aided school is Pate's Grammar School in Cheltenham , which is funded through a charitable foundation set up by Richard Pate and Corpus Christi College, Oxford for the education of local children in 1574 . Other examples of voluntary aided schools include the Blue Coat School, Oldham , London Oratory School and Little Heath School , Tilehurst , Reading, Berkshire . SEE ALSO REFERENCES |
