Prior to the Education Act 1944, voluntary schools were those associated with a foundation, usually a religious group. That Act imposed higher standards on school facilities, and offered voluntary schools a choice in funding the costs this would incur.
Voluntary controlled schools would have all their costs met by the state, but would be controlled by the Local Education Authority.
Voluntary aided schools would be only partly funded by the state, with the foundation responsible for 50% of capital works but having greater influence over the school.
The Roman Catholic Church chose to retain control of its schools, while more than half of Church of England schools became voluntary controlled.[1]
