Abstract

This paper tests a model of non-Government secondary school choice among the subjects of a longitudinal study of career commencement. The results show that the socio-economic advantages of upper middle class origins, already a factor in these subjects remaining at school, may repeat their effects in terms of Independent secondary school choice for possible children. The choice of Catholic schooling seems motivated by other concerns, though we demonstrate a sizeable drift from the Catholic school sector to the Independent school sector. The choice of Catholic secondary schooling is bound up largely with being Roman Catholic and carrying on a tradition of attendance at such schools, especially among men.
