Yeah, that's the new problem.

I suspect in the past, people were less mobile, there wasn't the same disparity in wealth between different localities in the same general area, and school league tables weren't published. So the idea of moving to an area for (among other things) better education for their children wasn't something that was done.

I'm not really sure that's true. One of the things about grammar schools was that they covered quite wide areas since they were the top 25% scorers of exams. So think three ordinary sized secondary schools to a single grammar (which were usually single sex as well in those days).
