Founded in 1440 by King Henry VI, Eton College is a boys’ boarding school with around 1,300 pupils, situated across the river Thames from the pretty Berkshire town of Windsor. Throughout our history, we have been one of the leading independent schools in the UK and we continue to provide a stimulating all-round education, coupled with academic excellence. Our academic success comes from a deep commitment to learning and independent thought. Our pupils benefit from the intellectual quality and inspiring teaching of Masters who are passionate about their roles inside and outside the classroom. Our broad co-curriculum enables pupils to identify and develop their own skills and strengths within a supportive environment. Led by House Masters and Dames, our 25 boarding Houses offer communal identities and, alongside our co-curriculum, support the positive development of character and attitude. Approximately one fifth of our pupils currently receive financial aid. See our websitefor further details.

Repton School is a co-educational independent day and boarding school for children aged 3 to 18 in the heart of England. From Nursery to Sixth Form, Repton encourages a conscious equilibrium in all things, encouraging pupils to adopt a healthy balance between their studies, sport, activities of all kinds and rest, so that they can emerge as rounded, multi-faceted individuals. The sense of balance that every Reptonian – from the age of 3 to 18 - benefits from is shaped by our five pillars: Pastoral Care; Academia; Sport; Extra Curricular and our Spirit of Place. Our pupils achieve in the classroom because they never have to prioritise academic achievement over their love of theatre, their aptitude for sport or their passion for music. Who we are, what we do, and what we believe in could not be more pertinent for young people facing the modern world. With 1000 years of education history behind us, the traditional values of encouraging pupils to aim high whilst showing respect for all are still of utmost importance, however, Repton is undoubtedly modern in terms of practice and outlook.
