The School

  • Eton has traditionally been referred to as "the chief nurse of England's statesmen" and has been described as the most famous public school in the world.
  • The Independent Schools Inspectorate's latest report says, "Eton College provides an exceptionally good quality of education for all its pupils. They achieve high academic standards as a result of stimulating teaching, challenging expectations and fi rst-class resources."
  • Almost all the school's pupils go on to universities, about a third of them to Oxford or Cambridge.
  • In 2010, 37 applicants from Eton alone were accepted by Oxford.
  • The Good Schools Guide called the school "the number one boys' public school," adding, "The teaching and facilities are second to none."

Admission

  • Almost all boys now take the School's preassessment at age 11 (the registration deadline is 10 years and 6 months), which involves a reasoning test, an interview and a school report. Conditional places are offered for entry at 13, subject to qualifi cation through Common Entrance (UK) or our King’s Scholarship examination. There are also music scholarships. Entry can be gained through those scholarships in Year 8 without an earlier conditional place.
