New statistics show that there was a huge increase of requests for academies, charitable organizations educational and committed individuals in the schools without arrange movement of internships for students.
Throughout the first four months of 2013 (SBSA) State boarding schools Association said that received 20 applications for those who are interested in the opening of new institutions. This compares with a single application per year over the past five years. These new schools would offer a free education and the burden for boarding costs - reducing the demands on the bank accounts of parents for more than ￡25,000 per year around ￡ 10,000.
Although still an important monetary expense, charges can cancel care expenses and it is hoped that schools could provide an option for the children than families experiencing problems at home.
The new generation of boarding comes following the City Centre London school Durand of the Academy plan to open the "Eton of the public sector" in West Sussex for 600 children.
Three academies open boarding schools last year, with five plans announcing more doing the same thing. The Wellington Academy to Tidworth, Wiltshire, sponsored by the College of Wellington ￡ 30,000 per year, also offered places of embarkation to 100 students in 2012. Even the elite Eton College is planning to sponsor a boarding school of State, Holyport College, which will open its doors in 2014 to seven km from the public school in a village near Windsor-leaves.
The Academy of Harefield in Hillingdon, West London, was the first Academy to open a boarding school nearby for 50 of his students in 2012.
Director Lynn Gadd said the school has decided to offer to come aboard to help working-class students.
"For children who are about to have omitted because they are not in class, if you put internship, it will make a difference - it's a no brainer", she said.
"There also many children that we sofa surfers. They move from MOM to Dad at gran, so they are never in the same place to do their homework or to have a place to call their own. ?
She admits however, very few families can afford to pay ￡ 10,000 for the costs on board more than a year - say that it might sometimes be a struggle to find money for children who would benefit the most from the experience.
"The government finance the construction and equipment but it is not possible to finance places", said Ms Gadd. "You have to run to the charitable foundations for funding and local authorities for the financial sponsorship."
Melvyn Roffe, a veteran of the SABS and the Director of State of Wymondham College boarding school in Norfolk, said: "it's kind of come back in the future. It was a form of education that was popular years ago and now she is back. ?
Lauryn Nwaeze, 16, finished his GSCEs at Harefield Academy and moved to boarding school at the school in September.
I moved because of the long drive to the school, which would have been an hour-and-a-half.
It really helped me because it is so close to the school that if I ever need help from their teachers, they are literally two minutes from the hotel. My homework has improved because we have planned some study time.
I like be in the boarding house because it's like a family; Everyone looks at each other.
If you stay at the weekend you are allowed to do what you like, but obviously we have a curfew - for the year of 11 which is 22.
Before my arrival, I thought boarding would be like in Harry Potter, but it is really normal and you are in good hands. I have my own room and toilets, and we have a head-mistress home and people who take care of us and keep us online.
I don't mind not being at home because my mother a nurse and it works great. What I like most about his presence, is that I'm not on my own as well, and you get to be more independent without your parents.
