Most middle class families send their sprogs to a public school. However most middle class and working class will want to try and get their sprogs into the best public schools because some are not as good as others.

It's tough. If you can't afford it don't buy into it. She might as well save some money for her sprog if he goes to university in the future or something.

I do feel sorry for him, it wasn't his choice which school his mother sent him to and now he's got to leave his friends to go elsewhere. He'll get over it I'm sure it won't be the worst thing in life that will happen to him but its still harsh for him. So what she's chosen to spend her money on private education, its her money and her choice. We spend enough time complaining about how much the taxpayers have to support, what people choose to spend their money on is up to them

In contrast to the usage in the United States and other non-Commonwealth countries, the term public school is commonly used in England and Wales—but not in Scotland and Northern Ireland—to refer, paradoxically, to a school that relies on private funding sources. They are "public" in the sense of an "initial public offering", anyone who can afford the tuition and meets the institutional requirements may attend, rather than the normal sense of being public, i.e. state run, institutions. This contradiction is the result of an anachronism: most of the older institutions predate the later availability of general compulsory public education in the 19th century with which the earlier usage then came into semantic conflict.

This derives from use of the phrase to refer to some long-established boys' boarding schools, which were founded or endowed for public use and subject to public management or control[1]—schools which were subsequently reformed by the Public Schools Acts. The term is now commonly used to describe private schools in general, particularly those that are members of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.[2] Amongst the most famous public schools in England are the 'Clarendon Schools' which were the subject of the Public Schools Act 1868: Charterhouse School, Eton College, Harrow School, Merchant Taylors' School, Rugby School, Shrewsbury School, St Paul's School, Westminster School and Winchester College.

There are now more than 2,500 independent schools in the UK educating some 615,000 children, over 7% of children (rising to more than 18% of 16+ pupils) throughout the country.[3][4]

Most of the larger independent schools are either full or partial boarding schools, although many are now predominantly day schools; by contrast there are only a few dozen state boarding schools. Boarding-school traditions generally give a distinctive character to most UK independent education, even in the case of day-pupils.

Most independent schools, particularly the larger and older institutions, have charitable status. It is claimed by the Independent Schools Council that UK independent schools receive approximately £100m tax relief due to charitable status whilst returning £300m of fee assistance in public benefit and relieving the maintained sector (state schools) of £2bn of costs.[5] The Charity Commission is currently formulating tests of public benefit for charitable schools as required by the Charities Act 2006
