    Public School vs State School | The Class Divide Nobody Wants to Talk About

    In today's episode, we're joined by Sophie Pender, founder of the 93% Club and Forbes 30 Under 30, who built the UK's biggest network for state educated people after realising that class in the workplace was the one thing nobody was talking about honestly. We talk about what classism really looks like in 2026, private vs public school experiences, and how your background can shape your life in ways other people often don’t even realise. Sophie also shares what it was actually like growing up on one of the biggest council estates in North London and then walking into one of the UK’s top universities, and why nothing really prepares you for that gap. What you’ll learn: 🚌 How private vs public schools still shape your opportunities in the UK 📚 Why only 7% of the UK is privately educated, but they dominate top careers 📈 #1 reason why classism is at an all time high in the UK 🏢 Dealing with judgement at work and university 🏠 How your home & childhood life shapes what you think is ‘normal’ Resources & links mentioned: Sophie Pender’s Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sophieapender/The 93% Club - https://www.93percent.club/ 🔔 Join the HERd* broadcast channel here: https://www.instagram.com/channel/AbY4liwxlLnewx4H/?igsh=MWhuaXFweGtucTB3cA== 📱 Find us on socials: Instagram & Tiktok - @drfayebate Podcast Instagram & Tiktok: @herdiscussionspod 📩 Want to reach out?
