Eton College — the Most Famous School in Britain

Eton is a very old school, which was founded by King Henry VI in 1440. Henry’s aim was to give education to seventy poor boys so that they could then go to Cambridge University. He wrote that the chosen boys should “have a good character, be good at reading, Latin grammar and singing”. They were not allowed “to carry swords or knives, to keep monkeys, bears and badgers”, and if they “behaved badly, married or became monks”, they had to leave. Life in the early days of Eton was hard. The boys had to get up at 5 o’clock in the morning and wash outside with cold water, rats ran free about the college, and all the lessons were in Latin.

Today Eton College has become the largest and most prestigious public school in Britain. It’s a very expensive school too. You have to pay more than 25 thousand pounds a year to study there. But you don’t automatically go to Eton even if you have money. You have to pass entrance exams first.
