Depends how rich you are but there are several. Eton is a good one. it also depends where in the UK you want to study. For a list of some of these schools, try the department for education and skills website: www.dfee.gov.uk it even has performance tables for many schools. hope this helps

Here are some suggestions - friends of mine graduated from these schools and loved their time there. Many boarding schools are single-sex, so unless otherwise specified, these are girls schools: Roedean (www.roedean.co.uk), Benenden (www.benenden.kent.sch.uk), Charterhouse (girls: 6th form only) (www.charterhouse.org.uk), Wycombe Abbey (www.wycombeabbey.com), Marlborough College (mixed) (www.marlboroughcollege.org) Hope that helps.

Eton (nr London), Harrow (nr London), Winchester (Hampshire), Radleigh (nr Oxford), St. Edward's (Oxford), Abingdon (nr Oxford), Sedbergh (Cumbria), Rugby, Marlborough, Shrewsbury, and St. Paul's (London) are all examples of traditional private schools in the UK (usually called "Public Schools" for some reason). Some are only mixed for the 6th form. Milfield is a less traditional school but has a very good reputation, particularly for sport, and pushes students to do more than just study. Not sure of other places in this category.
