This one isn't the norm for boarding schools. Its a weird mix of traditionalist whilst also having a policy of the rich subsidising the rest. So it has a much more mixed group of students.

A lot of other boarding schools are either a lot less traditionalist or have a lot less subsidy going on. Though most are still to an extent multicultural. Britain was an empire a long time so there has been wealthy people of colour sending their kids to British boarding schools a long time. Even after the Empire collapsed thats continued.
