I think it's less to do with a class based society.

Evidently, those considered middle /upper class will have more finances at their disposal to afford private education. That is and always will be the case.

That does not detract from the fact that there are far higher numbers of working class individuals, working class families within the UK, that are prepared to pay for private education - than was evident in the past.
