What a cracking facility!!

Does not surprise me at all. These schools tend to have first class facilities in all subjects and use them. Not every public school pupil will go on to be a legalised bank robber in the City. How many will go on to blue collar jobs, very very few, but what it does do is give all of them a start in understanding how things are made, which a fair percentage will need to know for future careers. Engineering is not dead in this country it just works differently to how some people remember or think it should.

The Leys in Cambridge are noted for their workshops.

In fact I'm less surprised that public schools have workshops than state schools. generally they are under less money cutting measures and see the benifit of such things.

Does it really matter? Designing and building their own stuff is what matters. Doing it with modern materials and techniques is also important.
