Eton College

About Eton College

Eton College is an independent boarding school for boys aged 13 to 18 in Windsor, Berkshire, England. Founded in 1440 by King Henry VI, it is one of the United Kingdom’s best-known boarding schools and part of the historic tradition of British public schools. Most boys enter at 13+ (Year 9) after prep-school pathways. Limited 16+ Sixth Form entry may be available in some years according to published admissions guidance on the college website.

The academic programme prepares students for GCSE and A Level, and related qualifications as listed by the school, supported by extensive co-curricular sport, music, drama and societies. Pastoral care is organised through boarding houses, which are central to daily life and student support. Eton publishes detailed registration guidance — timelines can begin years before entry — and provides information on means-tested bursaries for eligible families. Assessment formats, interviews and document checklists are described on the official admissions pages.
