What is a comprehensive school

Question

I looked it up on google but it just says it's for all types of people. Can someone please give me a little more detail

Answer 1

Well, considering a I attended a comprehensive school before it became an academy I think I can help you:

A comprehensive school is one that will cater for EVERYONE. It will accept and teach anyone regardless of ability, be they thick as wood or a bright spark, and regardless of gender, religion, ethnic background etc.
