The world's most famous school, founded by King Henry VI in 1440. Full boarding for 1,300 boys aged 13–18. Alumni include 20 British Prime Ministers, countless world leaders and cultural figures.
The Catch — Honest Parent Note
The world's most famous school. Boys only. The catch: You must register by age 10 for entry at 13. If your son is 11, the main window is already closed. It is high-tradition and high-pressure.
Fees include 20% VAT (2025/2026). Day vs boarding fees may differ. Confirm with admissions.
