    Sad to see little has changed since the #SuttonTrust's first Elitist Britain report back in 2019; let alone since 2021 when A Stubborn Fury: How Writing Works In Elitist Britain was published:

    ‘The most powerful and influential people in the UK remain 5 times more likely to have attended a fee-paying school than the general population. Members of this leadership elite are also twice as likely to go to #university over five times more likely to have gone to a #RussellGroup university and 21 times more likely to have gone to #Oxford or #Cambridge than the general population. Just 7% of the general population attends #privateschools

  6. "In 2025 you can still buy advantage, massively increasing your chance of getting into the most powerful roles in the UK. This is grossly unfair & a waste of talent on a huge scale. If we want a fairer, stronger economy, employers & policymakers must take responsibility for levelling the playing field, where privilege is no longer a passport to power."

  11. Record numbers of 18-year olds from deprived areas have applied to the most selective #UK universities & courses, according to newly released data. #UCAS says the trend is "encouraging", but #suttontrust says the advantage gap has "hardly shifted."

  14. The latest data from the #SuttonTrust suggest that 'widening participation' at the top #universities has almost no impact over the last 25 years... provided you equate 'top' universities with the #RussellGroup which is not a perfect fit.

    It would be better to use the THES ranking to identify top universities as some of the top 20, not in the RG are actually do a pretty god job - my own erstwhile institution, Lancaster U, for instance does pretty well on this & is top 10 but not in the RG!
