Totally anecdotally, I went to state school and my little brother went to private. He did much more/better sports than me, wasn't bullied, is happy and well adjusted, lives a great life, earns lots of money etc. Whereas I do not. Maybe school choice is nothing to do with it but I think being really unhappy for 7 years wasn't amazingly good for me.
School fees in the UK are ridiculous, but international day schools here (in Shanghai) are around £40k a year... All the parents are teachers, on massive expat packages or are filthy rich shanghainese that bought passports for the whole family and don't notice small change like that.
