Will children from wealthy homes do better then children from "poor" families and if so why? Does wealth and education of parents go hand in hand?

Money does matter. A private school will not willingly employ a Marxist teacher who wants to stay at home/go on additional holidays whilst receiving 100% of his public funded salary. Unless specifically told to by the govt. private schools have provided more classroom time than the state schools. Private schools have also provided a far higher standard of "on-line" learning that state ones.

Have heard of too many state run school failings for the stories not to have truth in them. So in answer to your posed question.....Private school pupils will be years ahead of state school ones and they will thrive and capture whatever jobs market availability there will be (I'm not including the state school genius or driven pupil - I think they will still be around for them to be pointed out for state school schooling success).
