The trials and tribulations that it has faced have not been confined to the Labour party's ever heightening antipathy towards it. In addition to the political challenge the schools faced a number of other crises in the 1960s and 1970s. Not least amongst these was the challenge posed by the increasing cost of their education, the result of the effects of inflation. Whilst the cost of living index rose by 148 per cent between January 1966 and January 1976, the schools were particularly affected by the rocketing price of heating oil and the escalation in staff salaries.
In return, central government had control over the fees that were charged and the erection of new buildings, with representation on the governing bodies shared between the schools and the appropriate education authority. These schools aimed to provide a ladder of upward mobility for the bright children from poor homes and remained hybrids of the state and the private sectors of education until their final demise in 1976. Over the years the headmasters of the boys' direct grant schools were invited to join conference and therefore these could be considered to be public schools.
Whilst the Oxford Mobility Study gathered information about two generations only, in over 80 per cent of the cases in this research it has been possible to compare class position of three generations of males, enabling a more profound analysis of the extent of class stability or mobility. The evidence shows that it is indeed the social elite which is the most stable in terms of membership of its class, confirming the social closure exhibited over two generations. Fiftyfive per cent of the members of this elite are third generation members of Class I/ 8 as compared to only 29 per cent of the occupational elite and 20 per cent of the remaining Class I males (both of whom are drawn from a variety of occupational backgrounds such that their class position is not strictly hereditary).
