England has government-funded schools and private schools where the parents pay the fees.
Everyone in an English school, has to wear school uniforms, there are many arguments for and against school uniforms, most people say that uniforms save money, because parents don't have to spend a lot of money on designer labels and students don't tease each other for wearing the wrong clothes, but the reasons against school uniforms are that everyone look alike and the students lose their individuality, and they do not learn to deal with people from different cultures and backgrounds.

Most of the English children go to state schools, while only 6% go to private schools, this might be because of the school fees are very expensive, the average cost for a child at a private school, £6000 per year, which is almost the same as 53.000 DKK, and the cost of a year at boarding school is about double the amount.
