Education Business Partnership

We are an active participant in Spark! (the Hounslow Education Business Partnership) and also the East Berkshire Education Business Partnership (EBeBP) which both forge links between state schools, businesses and community partners operating in their respective areas. The aims of such partnerships are to raise the achievement of young people, improve their employability, develop their ability to play a positive role in society and contribute to the social and economic well-being of the community. Our main contribution is through our annual Eton College Design Challenge, launched in 2005 and now in its eighth year, in which 100 boys and girls from state schools in the Hounslow and East Berkshire areas together with 25 Eton boys are divided into mixed teams to solve the particular problem posed.
