Bit more complex than that
Firstly you have to really want your child to have a "good education" to sedn them there
As a result you are more likely to make sure they do their homework and get good marks - and they will probably go to the parent's evening and check what the teachers say
On which point - if the kid mis-behaves then the school can be kick them out quite easily and without going through the multivarious steps that a normal school has to go through
Also - as there are fees set by the school then they can have smaller classes - ask any teacher and they will tell you that smaller classes equals better teaching and better results
and happier teachers and kids
chuck all that together and you get better results
BTW - I went to a fee paying school - the facilities were rubbish - floorboards so odl that the nails stuck up an inch or more as the wood had worn down around it
Sports facilities were a couple of fields for rugby and cricket and a "gym" that was mostly one big room with space to volleyball, basketball and stuff - all using ancient equipment that had been patched up over many years
But parent engagement was excellent and that made a lot of difference
N.B. I have also taught in an ex independent school that was very similar - very good parent engagement and attitude of the girls (single sex school) - many of whom had had the female member of their family attending the school for several generations
of course - the wealthy are far better able to be able to afford that

Well - just watched the election debate
just makes me even more certain that Farage is a really nasty man
interrupting and talking over people and even resorting to direct insults
I did notice that he backed down when he tried to interrupt the Welsh guy - from Plaid - probably because he is a big guy and not a woman
TBF - Penny Mordant also talked over people time and time again to she was not so rude or aggressive
They really need to find a way to shut people up because they won;t stop unless forced
no idea how to do it

Lets see if Clacton's verdict on him stays the same as other elections.
In the EU ones he only won due to apathy, an apathy partly cultivated by the media.

Something nasty in the woodshed
They could simply fade the level of the person's microphone down. I've never understood why they don't do that.

And even from the audience point of view they have been shown to make almost no difference to how anyone intends to vote. There are vanishingly few people who go "well, I thought Sunak did well there, I'm changing my mind from voting Labour to voting Tory".

This just in - the Unite Union would rather have a Conservative government than support Labour because the Labour Manifesto isn't left wing enough. I'm guessing Dave Spart will have a column in the next Private Eye...
