*************

Eton College, usually referred to as Eton, is a British independent boarding school located in Eton, near Windsor in England. It educates over 1,300 pupils, aged between 13 to 18 years and was founded in 1440 by King Henry VI as ""The King's College of Our Lady of Eton besides Wyndsor"".^[1]

Eton is one of nine English independent schools, commonly referred to as ""public schools"", included in the original Public Schools Act 1868. Following the public school tradition, Eton is a full boarding school, which means all pupils live at the school, and is one of four such remaining single-sex boys' public schools (the others being Winchester College, Harrow School and Radley College) to continue this practice.

Eton has a long list of distinguished former pupils. David Cameron is the nineteenth British Prime Minister to have attended Eton,^[2][3] and has recommended that Eton set up a school in the state sector to help drive up standards.^[4] The College has also educated generations of British and foreign aristocracy and members of the Royal family, the most recent being Prince William and his brother Prince Harry.

Eton has traditionally been referred to as ""the chief nurse of England's statesmen"",^[5] and has been described as the most famous public school in the world.^[6] Early in the 20th century, a historian of Eton wrote, ""No other school can claim to have sent forth such a cohort of distinguished figures to make their mark on the world.""^[7]

The Good Schools Guide called the school ""the number one boys' public school,"" adding, ""The teaching and facilities are second to none.""^[8] The school is a member of the G20 Schools Group.
