Henrijs VI atver Ītonas koledžu. To beiguši 20 Lielbritānijas vēlākie premjerministri

Ītonas koledžu 70 "nabadzīgiem dižciltīgajiem" nodibināja karalis Henrijs VI, uzdāvinot vērtīgas zemes un ēkas, kā arī nosakot stipendijas, kuras sedza līdz 90% skolas maksas.

Koledža paredzēta zēniem vecumā no 13 līdz 18 gadiem. Skolai paplašinoties, tajā sāka pieņemt arī bērnus, kuru vecāki spēja un vēlējās paši samaksāt par bērnu izglītību un ap to izauga pilsētiņa. Šobrīd skolā mācās ap 1300 bērnu. Skola lielu vērību pievērš sportam un mākslām, tai ir vairākas sporta būves.

Skolas maksa par 1 gada mācībām

• 2014/15 gadā sasniedza jau £35,000 gadā),
• 2019.g.-  £42,501, bet
