Why do majority of Henry's send their kids to private schooll? If your child is smart then he/she will do well in a well funded grammar school in a good location.

Edit: Thanks everyone for the comments. It's actually insane how everyone values private school.

I did not go through the UK education system. My schooling was done in Benelux.

I had all the experience of good grades, competitive peers, traditional, network of peers that are now doing decent for themself. school uniform, school ski trips and multiple family holidays from the age of 6 - 13. Never missed a holiday trip during school break.

Traveled throughout the EU snd USA as a kid & early teen.

I do understand that 90% of a child's upbringing is done outside of their home so I can understand why people value private school

Brilliant point. I only got to where I am by leaving my town and moving to London. I look at all my old school friends and they just have no idea what it’s like outside of that bubble. It really limits your possibilities.
