Hmm. In my day we grammar school kids were regarded as academically superior to the students who'd gone to public (eg private) schools. In my time at Imperial College I don't ever recall any class barriers at all - in those early 70s days it would have been regarded as highly uncool. There must have been a considerable social mix because I remember a considerable variety of accents - particularly one lass from up country Devon who needed an interpreter in the local shops when we were on a field course in the Clyde Estuary (lowland Scotland).
The minority of working class kids who got to grammar schools had virtually guaranteed social mobility - one only has to compare the Tory Government of Thatcher and Major with that of Cameron. The trouble is the whole debate is riddled with ridiculous political assumptions (on both sides) and any kind of rational evaluation and discourse is impossible.
