Generally, yes, but they do get more experiences in life (and this is just generally). Usually, people in public schools don't get the same facilities and oppertunities as private schools because the government has to fund a lot of schools. Also, if you were a parent and you had a kid who really refused to work, would you fork out £1,500 a TERM to keep your brat their and not learn anything? But just because on average people don't do as well, doesn't mean everyone will. I mean, there are far less private school students to public, so their averages are bound to be better anyway. I mean hey, I go to public school, and it's never done me any harm! I'm realistic, and I know how the world works. I know people in private school and they just expect their parents to pay for them all the time!

This might be confused, as a Public School, in UK, is really a private school, and a modern comprehensive tends to be the public one. Children who are privately educated tend to have more impetus to study, as their parents are paying for the privilege of their education and their peers are usually also trying to study. Those who attend state-sponsored schools are thrown in with people of different abilities and aspirations, and can often find it difficult to concentrate on study. Peer pressure in these situations often affects potential grades. Because of this children, regardless of their native IQ will generally perform better in a privately paid-for school than they will in a state-sponsored one. I hope this answers your question.

children who go to comprehensive schools are accepted regardless of ability, therefore there is a wide scope of grades. Public school students (which is really private) have to sit entrance exams so only the brightest are taken. Therefore the children all come out with high grades. It also depends on the area, where i come from (a quiet rural town) the local state school is excellent and produces good gcse results, you are not as likely to be so lucky in inner city london though as over crowding and high levels of poverty are more of an issue than country towns.
