In 2003, there were about 70 schools in the United Kingdom offering education based on philosophies differing from that of the mainstream pedagogy, about half of which are Steiner-Waldorf schools. Summerhill School, established by A.S. Neill in 1921, was the first Democratic school; most have since closed, except for Summerhill, Sands School, Park School and Small Acres School. Though such schools were until recently all fee-paying, the introduction of state-funded Free Schools since 2011 has been changing the educational landscape.
