Eton College is a charity for the advancement of education. At its heart sits an independent boys' boarding school which leads a dynamic range of educational activities and an expanding network of educational partnerships. The charity's primary purpose, determined from its Christian foundation in 1440, is to draw out the best of young people's talents and to enable them to flourish and make a positive impact on others through the course of a healthy, happy and fulfilling life. Founded to offer transformative educational opportunities to boys with limited life chances, currently over 100 boys pay no fees at all.



With an extensive curriculum both within and beyond the classroom, a focus on pastoral excellence, and a growing expertise in digital education to facilitate diverse learning activities and promote collaboration, Eton College stands in the vanguard of educational developments. Its award-winning flagship embedded research facility, The Tony Little Centre for Innovation and Research in Learning, is at the core of these new developments, informing Eton College's own educational practice, as well as sharing best practice across the sector.



Eton College coordinates over 1,000 cross-sector partnerships between schools, charities and other organisations for the benefit of children and teachers. Through research, digital resources, summer schools, visits and events, Eton College's partnership programme brings together people who are determined to provide extraordinary learning opportunities for young people. Last year, the College coordinated activities for over 5,400 state school pupils, with over 2,000 pupils continuing to visit its museums and collections each year.



Our partnership with Holyport College, an Ofsted outstanding state-maintained boarding school, is one of the strongest, closest, and most reciprocal cross-sector partnerships in the UK. It is intended as a way of sharing pastoral and academic expertise in both directions, building an educational ethos which makes a long-term contribution to our local communities. Through our partnership, Eton College and Holyport College aim to establish ourselves as a model for collaboration between the independent and maintained sectors.



As it looks forward, the ambitions of the charity will continue to broaden, from maintaining and developing new partnerships to its partnership with Star Academies.
