Hopelessly elitist and establishment Bristol University, the first choice college for thick snobs who can’t get an Oxbridge place, is recruiting more students from the very poshest and most expensive public schools than ever it’s been forced to admit.
Its private school intake is still a massive 40% – despite only 7% of kids attending private schools in the UK – and has not altered since 2001, but the number of schools from which these students are recruited has shrunk. Schools such as Eton and Westminster have seen significant increases in pupils going to the university in the last few years.
Good to see Bristol University is so proactive in tackling the huge and widening social divisions in this city.
