The other issue is that this will surely go back to the Elite High School feeding to the Elite School. And the Elite Junior School feeding to the Elite High School. And the Elite Preschool feeding to the Elite Junior School. If your parents are willing and able to pay the fee you can drastically increase your chances of acceptance into Oxford University by going to Dragon School and then Eton.

- exdsq 5y agoHaha I hadn't see that but sadly it is. I was put through a similar process and burned out hard with school by 16.
- pmyteh 5y agoThis is slightly mitigated by elite graduate schools selecting good candidates from elsewhere (unlike for academic hiring). The large majority of Oxford DPhil students didn't go to Oxford as undergrads; I went to Leeds and most of my cohort was international, for example. The expensive school to Oxford pipeline is definitely a thing, but it's much more prevalent at undergraduate level, at least if we're talking about expensive British schools...
