A voluntary aided school (VA school) is a state-funded school in England and Wales in which a foundation or trust (usually a religious organisation), contributes to building costs and has a substantial influence in the running of the school. Such schools have more autonomy than voluntary controlled schools, which are entirely funded by the state. In most cases the foundation or trust own the buildings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/leadership/typesofschools/maintained/b00198369/voluntary-and-faith-schools/voluntary-aided-schools )〕 In some circumstances Local Authorities can help the governing body in buying a site, or can provide a site or building free of charge. == Characteristics == Voluntary aided schools are a kind of "maintained school", meaning that they receive all their running costs from central government via the local authority. The majority are also faith schools. In contrast to other types of maintained school, only 90% of the capital costs of a voluntary aided school are met by the state. The foundation contributes the remaining 10% of the capital costs, and many VA faith schools belong to diocesan maintenance schemes or other types of funding programme to help them to manage those costs. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://schools.london.anglican.org/uploads/document/Maintenance%20Scheme%202012-13.pdf )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://education.southwark.anglican.org/education/school-buildings )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.manchester.anglican.org/upload/userfiles/file/PDF/Resources%20for%20schools/SLA%20complete.pdf )〕 They are not allowed to charge fees to students, although parents are usually encouraged to pay a voluntary contribution towards the schools' maintenance funds. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sacredheartteddington.co.uk/school-building-fund/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://st-pauls.hounslow.lgfl.digitalbrain.com/lgfl/leas/hounslow/schools/st-pauls/Backup%20-%2013%20Feb%2009/Drop%20Down%20Panel%20Contents%20-%20Homepage%20-%20Second%20contents%20list/Governors/?skinmode=3 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.strichardreynolds.org.uk/about-the-college/governors-fund )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gunnersbury.com/attachments/download.asp?file=299&type=pdf )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.smsp.richmond.sch.uk/content/files/754.pdf )〕 The foundation usually owns the school's land and buildings, although there are instances where VA schools use local authority land and buildings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.richmond.gov.uk/home/education_and_learning/new_catholic_schools_in_richmond_upon_thames.htm )〕 The foundation appoints a majority of the school governors. The governing body runs the school, employs the staff and decides the school's admission arrangements, subject to the national Schools Admissions Code. Specific exemptions from Section 85 of the Equality Act 2010 enables VA faith schools to use faith criteria in prioritising pupils for admission to the schools. Pupils at voluntary aided schools follow the National Curriculum. VA faith schools, like all faith schools, may teach religious education according to their own faith.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Department for Children, Schools and Families )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Voluntary aided school」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
