My Uncle also went to Stowe but I genuinely don’t think that helped me get in. I actually chose to attend Stowe myself after an argument with my father. I was actually put down (from Birth) to attend Eton, like my father. I got very average Grades in Common Entrance & went to a reasonably well-known Prep-School that is known to have Boys go on to Stowe.

The passmark is different to the acceptance rate. For example, Eton accepts way less boys percentage wise than Winchester and is therefore much harder to get into. The passmark for the exam has no say in terms of how hard it is to get into the school as 99 percent of boys who get a place at those schools will pass the exam anyway

Boys, Girls, Mixed and Fees doesn’t really explain the ranking order of these schools. I should think that Common Entrance and Scholarship results would be useful and 11+ for Grammar schools.

Finance will open the door with not even having to touch the door.

I went to what was described as one of the 'top public schools' (not one of those listed here) a few years ago and I've always been baffled by what 'top' means in that context. The only advantage, historically, of going to such a place was through nepotism you got a certain job later - people running certain sectors of industry, commerce, government, and other areas of our daily life went to these schools - so people laboured under the misapprehension that you somehow got a better education by going to one because you got a top job as a result. No, it was just nepotism as I've said - often referred to as 'the old school tie'. State schools are fine to go to as long as they're not in bad areas, you also have the advantage of living with your family 365 days a year, unlike at boarding school where you only occasionally see them growing up - which damages you for life - you live in the civilian world if you're at day school, unlike boarding school where you are locked away, become very institutionalised and find civilian life hard after 18; and at day school you see both genders daily growing up and you develop experience, know-how, confidence and so on with the opposite sex - unlike at boarding school where you never see the opposite sex and that messes you up; and lastly you have good role models amongst the staff at a day school, ordinary people with normal lives living in the real world - unlike most of the staff at a boarding school who are these weirdo, oddball loners who have no friends, no partner, never had a friend or a partner, and most of whom fancy kids - I was never a victim but I knew people who were and many of the staff from my old school ended up doing long prison sentences. Considering everything I've said, what is the point of going to one of these places? It costs a fortune and it damages you - I've never felt fully at home in the civilian world since, and it was some years ago that I left, I've had relationships but less that many people, I've had periods of loneliness and I've never fully felt like I fit in as I didn't grow up in this world. The 'old school tie' has gone now, the nepotism thing isn't there any more, people get where they get to on merit these days - something that should have always have been the case but wasn't years ago. Most state school graduates get degrees now and get good jobs, and have all the advantages I've described here - unlike the boarding school kids who have all the negatives I've detailed. Considering all of that, what is the point of these places any more? Please post comments below.

I went to one of these schools myself, and whilst not every child is suited to boarding school life, I could not disagree with you more. Indeed, the pastoral care at my school was excellent and remains one of the principal attractions of these schools. Whilst your school may have fallen down on this particular facet of your personal experience of boarding, I think it as wrong for you to extrapolate from the purely anecdotal evidence of your own experience that children are inevitably 'damaged' by boarding, as it would be for me to extrapolate from mine the conclusion that every child will automatically enjoy the boarding experience. We were not 'locked away' nor were we 'institutionalised' nor have I ever since felt alienated by the world at large. The teaching staff were not 'weirdos' and led perfectly normal lives (with spouses and children of their own) as much as teaching staff at day schools do. Indeed, a number of the teachers at my boarding school were 'refugees' (to coin a phrase) from state-funded schools and were happy to tell us that the teaching experience at such a school as mine was a pleasure after the dysfunctional misery they had experienced professionally at some state-funded schools. And if you're wondering what the personal political inclinations were of such 'refugee' teachers, they were happy to tell us that they were socialists (self-described) and voted Labour. This led to many an interesting and educational discussion, as you might imagine. What I write here is most definitely not a condemnation of state-funded schools. Rather, it is merely an observation that whilst not all is well at every single boarding school, neither is everything well at every single state-funded school. How many children have been 'damaged' by a day-school education, I wonder? By being obliged to attend a school chosen mostly by where the parents are obliged to live, which schools are under-funded and under-staffed, where teachers are continually unhappy with their professional lives and facilities are inadequate? Where violence is rife and the parents have little or no choice? I agree that the rather gloomy image described above is not the case at all state-funded and/or day schools, but then neither is the image you render typical of even a significant minority of boarding schools. I strongly feel that our state-funded schools need more money for better facilities, better school meals, higher teacher pay, smaller class sizes and improved school transport to boost attendance. And - yes - I know that will mean higher taxes for people like me (which I will willingly pay). The 'nuclear' family is in trouble in modern society and domestic violence is rife - indeed, my own sister has devoted her professional life to this particular blight on our society. It is a problem that afflicts even those families with satisfactory incomes, but it is epidemic amongst those with lower incomes because of the stresses that are associated with the situation where even two working parents cannot earn enough to achieve financial security. A dysfunctional home inflicts far more 'damage' than any boarding school could - or does. And I will tell you that there were more than a few kids at my (otherwise, very expensive) boarding school who came from very modest backgrounds, and attended courtesy of a scholarship of some sort. Yes, they fitted in socially just fine, and some readily disclosed that boarding school was a haven of peace compared to the family life they had to endure whilst not at school. Did I send my own children to boarding school? The answer: 'yes' and 'no'. The younger one has shown little interest and has attended day schools both primary and secondary throughout her education, with which my spouse and I are entirely happy. The older one attended day school until she was 15 nearly 16, at which point she discussed with me the pros and cons of boarding and asked if she had the option to board? I was lucky enough to have the means to afford her this choice and after she had discussed the idea with teachers at her day school and with school friends, she said she wanted to go. As she put it, she wanted to 'spread her wings' and and stand on her own two feet as an 'independent person'. And, between the ages of 16 and 18 , she boarded for the last two years of secondary school. My spouse and I missed our daughter very much and she missed us when school life wasn't keeping her very busy. But school life did keep her busy, and once she was settled in each term, she thrived and absolutely loved the experience. We saw her at home each school holiday and frequently throughout the each term - I obviously have no idea how much your parents saw you during your boarding school days, but it seemed to my spouse and me that we were at the boarding school almost as much as our daughter was. Indeed, given how many extra-curricular activities she had at her day school and how active her social life was with her peers outside school hours during her teenage years, I feel we saw our daughter almost as much during her boarding school years as we had when she attended day school. So - no - boarding school life is not for every child and none should be obliged to go to a boarding school if they do not wish to go. But if parents have the means and are assessing whether or not to send their child to boarding school, I think two critical questions need to be answered affirmatively before the decision is made: - 1). Does the child wish to go to boarding school? 2). Will the boarding experience enhance the education and the life of the child, and result in a well-rounded human being? If the answer to both questions is 'yes', do what you can to make the child's wishes a reality. Lastly, university: boarding school life prepares children emotionally for going away to university. Children who have gone to day schools will adapt to university life - after all, they're intelligent, bright and for the most part, emotionally healthy young adults. But for those who have never been to boarding school, the sudden experience of being away from home and entirely left to their own devices for the first time in their lives can - and often does - result in an extended period of emotional adjustment with which more than just a few struggle to cope. Indeed, I saw more than a few drop out of the university I attended after a year or two, because they simply weren't prepared emotionally for university life. Sadly, a few even committed suicide. Ex-boarding school kids suffered these problems at a far lower rate than kids coming up to university after a day school education and spending their entire childhoods at home. No - boarding school is not the solution to this problem, I readily acknowledge that. But what both government and the universities can do is to allow kids who have not achieved emotional maturity by the time they leave secondary school, an easier pathway to beginning university attendance when they are in their early to late twenties. Not everyone is prepared for university life at age 17 or 18, and both the universities and our children would be better off if we had more kids starting university life a few years after leaving secondary school, at an age when they are emotionally ready.

@@xetalq There was certainly pastoral care at my school, we went to chapel 6 days a week, I don't think having religion drummed into you did you harm especially but I personally got little from it. Not many people who I went to school with ever retained any sort of religious belief afterwards. I do believe that kids who go to these places are damaged, as I said previously. Not being raised by ones parents, and being locked away - which hardly prepares you for the civilian world, a world you were excluded from - these things are, in my view, detrimental to the person. You says kids are 'not locked away'. They are, they can't leave the place except on occasions, and that is similar to day-release from a young offenders institution. Others I've known have agreed with me when I've said that there's little difference between boarding school and a young offenders. On the issue of the staff being weirdos or not, the committed bachelors in these places are not normal people, the tradition of these people trying to get off with kids - often successfully - is something that's been going on in these places since Victorian times. Nothing happened to me, but I know people it did happen to. The staff at these schools with spouses and children - there were none at my school fitting that description - I would agree are ordinary people. They are quite rare in these schools and, like I say, I never encountered any. I'm all for kids going to State schools, I can not see any negative aspects unless the school is in a terrible area. So the vast majority of State schools are fine. The life a day school kid will have is similar to what a person will have from 18-90 years old, namely living in the civilian world 7 days a week and being educated by people who do too. Certainly some kids will be damaged by State education, but only if attending one that is quite rough, most are in ok areas so the kids there will have nothing negative about their experience. At least the kid in that situation will see family every day and night, the initial part of each morning, and all weekends. They will also live in the ordinary world: walking streets, visiting people, going to shops, etc - rather than spending 24/7 in a walled-off institution miles from anywhere. A dysfunctional home will certainly inflict damage on a child, but that only exists in a minority of households. The damage done by boarding schools, as I've outlined here and in my previous comment, occurs to one degree or another with most former boarding school attendees. I also knew a small number of kids on scholarships at my school, I never really saw the point - they would have got just as good an education at a good State school, or if their parents are very snobby about it then a good private day school. I don't see the point of the boarding element unless the parents aren't around to raise the kids - like if they work overseas, and that is the reason these schools were started in the first place. It's good you found what you felt was the right thing to do, education-wise, with your own children. Maybe kids are more listened to now than in my day, when I was at school in the 1980's any gripe a kid had wasn't listened to at all, the view from parents was the kid must endure whatever the thing was because somehow all this is a good investment in their future. When many got older they looked back and realised it wasn't. In terms of how much I saw family: four months of the year for holidays, and a 5 day half-term, 3 or 4 Sunday's and one weekend home, during each 13 week term. You speak of your daughter having a social life with her peers outside school hours, we had none of that in my day. There were feeble attempts occasionally, mainly because lads kept asking, for a 6th form dance to occur - where girls are bussed in from a girls school elsewhere and there is a kind of disco. Many of the staff discouraged this as they didn't want us associating with girls, them viewing male/female interaction as unnatural. I remember a group of lads, probably about 16 years old from my school, who were caught by one of the staff chatting to some girls on a country lane near the school. There were security cameras around certain entrances to the school and they were spotted - and within minutes of the chat starting they were busted by two staff. They were sent to the headmaster and caned (for young people reading this who are lucky enough not to know what that is, being caned is having your backside whipped with a stick 6 times). Had they been caught smoking or stealing the punishment would have been less. You mention how boarding school prepares kids for university. As they'll be going to live away, the fact they're previously lived away will obviously be a bonus. When you're 18 or 19 however you're a young adult and can adapt quite well to living on your own. Some young people leave home at 18 or 19 anyway. Sending someone away to live away from their family at 11 or 12 - some are even 7 - is not a good thing, unless the parents really keep an eye on it are really listen to what the kids says. So if the son or daughter says "dad, mum, I'm very unhappy here" they should be removed from that place and that way of life - kids who don't like it shouldn't be forced to endure it. In summary: boarding school is not a good thing in my view, unless a school can be found that is as close as possible to what post-18 life will be like. This would involve a mixed school, no single sex ones, and a place where all the staff have families. Also a lot of access to the outside world, and a situation where the parents monitor the happiness and well being of their kid, and really listen, and if they're not happy and it all doesn't feel right, they should be removed from that environment. Most will endure it to some degree, most tolerate a life nothing like what they'll have later, and most have few to turn to when they have difficulties - and that DOES damage the person.

Forgot Sevenoaks. And this list is jumbled up. And Eton is a public school, unless you mixed up public with state

Eton is a private school not public. There are around 7 private schools. Public schools are also fee paying schools but not part of the original group of private schools

There are many others which are difficult to get into. I think Rugby is quite difficult to get into as is Shrewsbury. Radley is difficult also. Then there is Marlborough and Wellington which are not easy to get into. There are many others.

London oratory is probably difficult too. Most of these are not that hard as long as you can pay.

Interesting. I'm an American and those schools look like castles. Are they fun and how are they difficult, grammar, math, sciences, socially, what? What's the culture like and what's the pecking order? My parents wanted to send me to a pricey high-end military academy. They even sat me down and showed me all the glossy brochures. But when I asked them where the girls were, I said no thanks... True story.

You could at least include some grammar schools (not to be rude) but fr the 11+ is hard.

What a total joke of a list. Stowe (co-ed boarding) and COLB (day, boys) are great schools, but ahead of Marlborough (co-ed, boarding) and St Paul's (day, boys) - do me a favour! And what about Rugby (or Oundle and Uppingham) - like Marlborough a far more academic and selective co-edboarding school than Stowe. You put one girls school on the list, namely Benenden, yet the top girls schools (boarding) are probably Wycombe Abbey and CLC, and the top days schools maybe St Pauls Girls, NLC, etc? One thing you've got right, however, is Ampleforth. That school's goiing to be pretty hard to get into when the Secretary of State for Education has banned them from taking new entrants!

Sevenoaks School? And getting into Westminster is harder than Eton

Out of all the schools mentioned only Westminster has proven to be the best in terms of exam results. There are some not even in the top 20. There are other private schools that are in the top 10 in the league tables that’s not even mentioned. I guess this video is for the rich and privilege but don’t mind the so so abilities !
