Does anyone know what percent of A-levels are taken by children in fee-paying schools?

Middle and high achievers, autonomy over what and how subjects are taught, minimal interference from the government, focus on learning and achievement, far less catering for any sort of sn, no need to be socially inclusive and you can get rid of students you don't want with much less fuss.
I don't know the percentages, but I am unsurprised by the statement.

Doesn't surprise me really. A lot are selective therefore can take on the high achieving students.
