British independent schools are under more scrutiny today than at any point in their history. Never before have so many of the British elites wanted to use their services, and never before have they been so reluctant to spring to their defence. The independent schools are the victims of their own success. While continuing to outperform the state sector in academic achievements, rising fees have lifted them beyond the reach of much of the middle-class bedrock that has filled their classrooms over the generations, and they are recruiting increasing numbers of affluent foreign pupils.
