But surely that would go very much in favour of private education?

How so?
If you want to learn, I'd assume you learn, whether you wear a silly uniform or not.

this is mostly true
but I think they definitely get more access to better facilities, which might give them a help

Private schools consistently have better results than state schools, and thus the top universities in the Uk
Have a large proportion of their intake from private schools. It's not just a question of better facilities either, it's a whole different set of attitudes and expectations as well as better facilities etc.

I understand the bit about different expectations.
Maybe that's why so many students talk with marbles in their mouths.

it is a lot harder to learn if you also have to work full time to pay for it,
rather than having a nice flat bought for you and all your money problems non-existant.

Not to mention the folk whose parents pay for private tuition and extra coaching if they don't do so well.

Hopefully we can give our kids as much tuition as they need.
Between us, we cover a fair few subjects to GCSE level and those two mop up information. Save a lot of money doing that. The going rate for tuition here is $65-80/hour. Might start that up soon to earn a few beer tokens or buy a lens for the camera.
