I think there's a time shift over the period of the books, anyway. By the end of Cricket Term there's a definite assumption that most Sixthformers will go on to University or something similar. At the start - when Karen's being set up as the unusually academic one - that was much less the case. To begin with, Oxford had only about 1/5 of the places for women it had for men, the big plate glass university revolution was yet to happen and so forth.
