=> Congratulations to the shortlisted pupils from Eton and our partner schools in the Thames Valley Learning Partnership for their success in the 2020 #TVLP GCSE Art Competition. The winning entry, created by Milly Handel from St Mary’s School Ascot was a plaster and screen print. Judges from the @nationalgallery said the piece had “real presence, excellent composition and it immediately stood out for its originality.”

We were founded to offer transformative educational opportunities to boys with limited life chances, and we have held to this offer ever since. Currently we have 90 boys in the school who pay no fees at all: and we aim to raise this number to 140 by 2025.
We are an integrated part of the local community and the wider education sector. Our partnership with Holyport College, an Ofsted outstanding state-maintained boarding school is one of the strongest, closest and most reciprocal partnership of any cross-sector relationship in the UK.
Over 2,000 pupils per year visit Eton to benefit from our museums and collections, and we co-sponsor the London Academy of Excellence, an outstanding sixth form in Newham, East London.
Come and visit our College Collections
Each year, our free museums, galleries, historic spaces and reading rooms welcome thousands of visitors.
COVID-19 Update
EtonX online Future Skills courses have been updated for 2021 and are available free of charge to all UK state schools. Teachers should visit https://etonx.com/uk-schools-offer/… to find out more.
We regret that it is currently not possible for prospective parents and their sons to visit Eton in person ahead of registration. However, a 45-minute Admissions webcast can be accessed by contacting our Admissions team.
Our museums and galleries are not open at present, but we are working hard to put plans in place for a safe reopening.
