If he wants to send his kids to private school then fine. What is everyones problem? It's his money and his choice and it is doubtless the best option for his kids.
The UK independent sector as a whole educates 620,000 children in around 2,500 independent schools. This represents just under 7% of the total number of schoolchildren in the UK (and just over 7% of the total number of schoolchildren in England). It also represents 23% of sixth form pupils
and the number is growing rapidly. This is hardly a surprise given the condition of state education in some areas of the country. The private school exhibition in london this year was the most vistied ever.
It was not wealthy parents but people from all over who had had enough of state education and were wiling to sacrifice a great deal to get their kids what they perceived as a better education.
So Osborne is by no means alone.
