Social Mobility in Britain has been steadily declining over the past decade and that, currently, children from middle-class homes are 50% more likely to stay in education after the age of 16 than their working-class counterparts. these findings demonstrate the failure of contemporary government policy. They represent not just the way things are in relation to social class and education, but the way they have always been.

they found middle class parents are more likely to have the contacts to play the education system because of their cultural capital. they found that middle class parents have the means and stamina to pay for childcare and therefore get there children into better schools that are further away because they can travel and not worry about the younger children. they are also more likely to to move house to be nearer to a better school. not only this but they are more likely to provide extra tuition to their children and have the money to pay for the best tutor.

he looked at working class parents and then their children's grades and found they are just as interested in their child's learning but are reluctant to to look into their child's education because the teachers judge them. the teachers perceived middle class parents to be more interested and therefore he felt this is why working class students did not achieve as high results. Kelly

they found that they valued middle class students more than lower class students and they were punished less and got away with a lot more. they then found working class children are less likely to be put into higher tier exams they were more likely in lower sets than others and only 9% of children who receive free school meals gained five or more GCSEs at a C or above. they concluded working class students are discriminated against and this therefore lowers their attainment. work by Kelly

Pupils achieving the equivalent of two A-levels at grades A-E who are entitled to FSM(free school meals) was 29%. Whereas pupils not entitled to FSM , 57% of them achieved two A levels at grades A-E. Furthermore even in secondary school there is a clear distinction between the two groups of pupils. With 79% of Non-FSM achieving 5 GCSES at grades A*-E whereas pupils entitled to FSM only had a rate of 57%. This has a direct correlation to family background and income that suggests pupils with more money in their family are more likely to be successful in state education by Steven

Middle-Class parents are in a much better position to get their children into grammar schools than working-class parents. many wealthier parents pay for private tuition to help their children get into  grammar schools but the Sutton Trust found in 2013 that only 2.7% of grammar school places went to children from families who were on such a low income that they were entitled to free school meals. In contrast 16% of all children in state schools are entitled to school meals. - Morgan

Reay 2005 (Students perspectives on teaching and learning)

# data[].attributes.body
The vast majority of students (in primary schools), particularly from the working class, talked about the sense of educational worthlessness and feelings that they were not really valued and respected within education. ESRC Study (Economical and Social Research Council) A project on students' perspectives on their teaching and learning at secondary school level.
Social inclusion in schooling entails the right to be included - socially, intellectually, culturally and personally. However, nearly all the students in the ESRC study, apart from the middle class boys, felt they were not really heard in the classroom. While the working-class boys were the most vocal and vociferous in their opposition to officially pedagogic discourses. Example from interviews of working class boys aged 12-13 at secondary school level: ''Some teachers are a bit snobby, sort of. And some teachers act as if the child is stupid. Because they've got a posh accent. Like they talk without 'innits' and 'mans'.''
The working-girls sense of alienation was just raw and tangible - Another example - ''Sometimes we feel left out.'', ''Because you know teachers are not meant to have favourites.''
A potent sense of unfairness and unequal treatment can be seen in their attitudes to levels of teacher attention.
