  2. History Eton is a very old school. It was founded by King Henry VI in 1440 (who was only 18 at that time). Henry’s aim was to give education to 70 poor boys so that they could then go to Cambridge University (which was founded at the same time).

  3. Famous Etonians A lot of famous people have been to Eton, including the novelists Henry Fielding, George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Percy Shelley and lan Fleming, 18 British prime ministers, and, in resent years, Prince William and Prince Harry. Two important Etonians in British politics today are David Cameron, the leader of the Conservative Party, and Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London.

  4. Dress Code Eton students wear a strange old-fashioned school uniform. It consists of a black tailcoat (or morning coat), black pin-striped trousers, a false-collar and a white tie. There are some variations in the school dress of important senior boys with responsibilities. The member of Pop (a small group of 21 elected prefects)are allowed to wear any colourful waistcoat and a white bow-tie. Prince William, for example, liked to wear a waistcoat made from the British flag.

  5. Life at Eton Eton is a boarding school where boys live and study away from home. When a boy comes to Eton he Joins a house of 50 boys. This house will be the hub of his life for the next five years. Each boy has his own small room with a bed and desk which he can decorate as he likes ( within limits, of course) and where he can entertain his friends.

  6. Sports The college is very strong in the area of sports. Students can do 30 different sports, including rugby, football, cricket, rowing, hockey, basketball, swimming and many others.
