How UHNW Families are Navigating Oxbridge's Private School Penalty with Private Tutoring
UHNW families are choosing a proactive approach to ensure the continued academic success of their children. Adam Caller , founder of private tuition company, Tutors International, comments:
With elite institutions facing pressure to diversify student demographics[2], UHNW families are taking charge of their children's education. By opting for full-time homeschooling, or part-time private tuition to support a state school education, they are not only ensuring continuity in academic excellence but also customising curricula to suit individual learning styles.
Private tuition provides UHNW families with the flexibility to tailor educational experiences to the unique needs and interests of each student. This adaptability allows for a more comprehensive exploration of subjects and the integration of real-world experiences into the learning process.
In response to the evolving landscape, UHNW families are tapping into a wealth of educational resources, including specialised tutors, cutting-edge technology, and curated learning programs. These approaches not only match the academic rigour associated with Oxbridge admissions but also foster a holistic development that goes beyond traditional classroom settings.
As part of an effort to improve social mobility in the UK, the UK government has requested that the country's top universities, such as Oxford and Cambridge , reduce the number of students they accept from private schools.
According to a report by the Sutton Trust[3], a charity that works to improve social mobility, only 7% of students at Oxford and Cambridge universities come from state schools. This is despite the fact that state schools educate 93% of all students in the UK.
Some people believe that reducing the number of students accepted into top universities from private school - and increasing the number from state school - will level the playing field.
