Sport inequality: Some sports ‘dominated’ by the privately educated – social mobility report

But the chances of carving out a successful sporting career are more likely in some sports for those who went to an independent school too, a new report says.
Elitist Britain 2019 looked at more than 5,000 people in the country’s top professions and their educational background and concluded that “a lucky few” were given the most opportunities.Sport inequality: Some sports ‘dominated’ by the privately educated - social mobility report 1

Cricket is one of the top 10 professions for independent school attendance, behind the likes of Cabinet members, military top brass and those sitting in the House of Lords – 43% of men and 35% of women playing international cricket for England went to private school.
Some 37% of male British rugby union internationals attended fee-paying schools, and about one in three Olympic medallists.
Across the wider population some 7% of people are privately educated.

Men’s and women’s football were the two lowest professions looked at for the study in terms of independent school attendance.
The report found 2% of female footballers went to private school, and 5% of the men.

Why does the report matter?

The Sutton Trust, a foundation set up to improve social mobility, and the Social Mobility Commission – a public body which monitors and promotes social mobility – worked together on the report.

It looked at the background of people who held “roles with substantial power and influence over people’s lives”, such as politicians and senior military figures.
But it also looked at those with “roles with the highest prestige, and wealth, which are among the most coveted in society” – pop stars, sports stars and actors, for example.

“Who rises to the top of fields from politics and business, to media, culture and sport matters,” the report says.
“It indicates whether opportunities to reach the most sought after positions in society are equitably distributed – and whether those powerful positions draw on the talents of all sections of the population.

“There is a danger to society if many of those in such positions of power and influence are from a very similar background and a limited set of life experiences, which do not reflect the lives of the country as a whole.”
How do different sports do?

The report found “big differences” across sports – and between men’s and women’s teams.

“Pathways to elite level participation in some sports include school or university level participation,” the report says.
“Access to facilities is a crucial element of this, with many sports which require expensive equipment or special facilities resulting in a more socially exclusive participant base, including rowing, sailing and equestrian sports.

“Independent schools frequently have the funding to invest heavily in such facilities.”
It cites figures showing that almost half (46%) of national schools competitions are won by independent schools, “despite 86% of competing schools coming from the state sector”.

The report adds: “Football is the only profession where the privately educated are under-represented among the groups studied.”
The backgrounds of British female rugby union internationals differ to those of the men, with 82% attending comprehensive schools and 13% attending independent schools – more in line with football but still double the national average.

Yet former England international Maggie Alphonsi, who grew up on a London council estate, believes women like her are the exception, rather than the rule.
“My success has been achieved in spite of the system, not because of it,” she told the report authors.
“I think it’s still a challenge for someone like me to get to where I have today.”

However, the report says sportswomen are more likely to go to university than men because the opportunities for a financially well-rewarded professional career in sport are lower for women.
“It makes sense for women’s players to attain good educational qualifications where possible,” it says.
