>>Withdraw the charitable status by all means.
Then that will reduce bursaries etc.
I think that private schools have a place in society. It gives consumer choice. There are no grammar schools in my area but the next county along has them and those that don't pay for private schools pay for tutors to get their kids through the 11 plus.
I also think there is an issue with some public schools like Eaton and Harrow which undoubtedly have an "old boys" network.
Private schools also bring a lot of money in to the country, about 60% of kids at the local private schools are foreign (and one local charity brings clever kids in from very deprived countries and pays for them to go to local private schools).
