On Tuesday 3 December, Eton College launched the third annual report of the College’s partnership work with state-sector schools and charities. 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.
My day at Eton College was unforgettable. The lessons were interactive and interesting—I loved meeting the students, playing Fives and lunch. I left Eton feeling motivated and eager to keep improving.
