I went to an Independent school that had been recently started by a group of parents, my parents came in at weekends to help paint the classrooms. At the time it had no status and its image was a bit severe. I have received no leg up from any old boys network and really never mention where I went.
It’s now become a a Public School and is very posh for the area. Recently I’ve mentioned it to a couple of people (both rowers) who were sort of impressed, which felt weird. I didn’t mention when I was there the heating broke in the middle of winter and they couldn’t afford to fix it so we wore coats in class.
Mind you when I was 14 my school trip was overland to India in the schools old minibus.
