Why are some colleges called a 'School of X' while others are a 'College of X'?
[Edit]

Answer

When it talks about a shool, it referes to the standard of education you are legally requirred to take. A college is where someone goes to achieve a slightly higher, more specified level of education, eg As or A2 levels, this is oflen attatched to a high school, and a University is where you can go to get a degree in something.

Also, if it is a school for adults as such, a school will teach you how to do something, whilst a college or university will give you a diploma.
