They aren’t undermining anything. It’s a good thing if state schools are improving. The half that are charities are charities. Majority are non-profits regardless.

They literally did try to stop state school advancement. My son's school did not get to build a running track or a pool. Dulwich the wonderful charity owns all the land and can't stand the competition. They are ridiculous, and some of their alumni are disgraceful.

If it’s their land, why should your son’s school be allowed to build on it? So you damn the whole sector on the basis of this dubious claim. You do you. Sounds like prejudice to me.

It's all leasehold and Dulwich do all they can to make life difficult for the school to upgrade itself, which it really needed to do, as 25 years ago it was a failing school. Thanks to the Blair/Brown school's building fund even Dulwich College couldn't stop it becoming an outstanding school.

So it’s outstanding. That’s great. Dulwich is an incredibly privileged place to live. Great schools, public transport, parks. Huge amounts of public money lavished on it an incredible amounts of wealth held by its residents. Maybe they should all pay more tax?

Quadruple council tax for Dulwich I say. Comes close to what ps parents are being asked to pay for having the temerity to not use the public services to which they are entitled.
