labeling

• children from middle class backgrounds are found on average to perform better than the working class
• the class gap between achievement grows wider as children get older
• middle class children do better at GCSE - stay longer in full time education and got to uni
• higher your class the greater the achievement will be 
• GCSE - middle class - 5A*-C's
