i) We will spend more on financial aid to enable more pupils from vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds to attend Eton. By 2025 the number of free places will have grown from 90 to at least 140 and we particularly welcome applications from Looked After Children (2/6)

ii) We will extend our digital education platform @etonxonline and develop new courses, many of which will be permanently available to the state sector for free. Over 1600 state schools have now registered for our free self-study courses and we will grow this partnership (3/6)

iii) We will develop a national network of partner schools and youth clubs, particularly in areas of social disadvantage and develop the Eton Virtual curriculum, summer schools, CPD programmes and research projects to complement the great work these organisations already do (4/6)

iv) We will seek to work with government to set up new selective sixth forms, partnered with Eton and others, to offer outstanding educational provision and aid social mobility in locations outside London and the South East (5/6)

After Covid-19 we cannot continue as if nothing has changed. As Mark Carney wrote in @TheEconomist , institutions will be judged by 'who shared and who hoarded'. Through an ambitious partnership programme, Eton is determined to play a role in responding to our national need. (6/6)

@Eton_College Absolutely fantastic @Eton_College . Undoubtedly the right thing to do as we tackle #COVID19

@Eton_College As someone who runs a charity in a challenging area of London - I warmly welcome this initiative. This strategic step creates a unique and exciting role for Eton as a social investor, count me in - along with all our partners.

@Eton_College Very good news - well done @EtonCollege . I hope other leading schools follow this lead and that disadvantaged areas of the #NorthEast are one of the first to benefit.

@Eton_College Good old Eton rising to the threat of working class insurrection by announcing a £100m scheme to ‘help’ the less privileged. During R4 interview it was announced ”we are a charity” what a despicable spin on charitable status. What is the combined wealth of current parents?

@Eton_College Eton is the Hellmouth

@Eton_College I would like to say ‘well done’ but as a ‘registered charity’ I am actually disgusted. This should not be a pat on the back!

@Eton_College Every one of these points will deepen inequality.

@Eton_College The only reason you exist to promote social inequality. That's what people pay for. Your very existence is immoral. And no fancy PR campaign is going to cover that up.

@Eton_College I hope this cements your deep and companionable relationship with HMRC

@Eton_College Some would argue that the conduct of some of your alumni reflect a school ethos which fosters entitlement, ruthless ambition, arrogance, dishonesty, elitism and lack of humanity and charity. You have your work cut out to persuade people that this is not the case.

@Eton_College There is another way you could help kids from disadvantaged backgrounds: PAY TAX!!!

@Eton_College How about taking serious and meaningful steps to ensure that your future alumni are not sociopathic monsters with all the confidence and swagger of the entitled, and a handy repertoire of classics quotes; but zero emotional intelligence or empathy?

@Eton_College Eton, where Oligarchs send their sons to give them respectability & distance themselves from their blood money. You should pay tax, your parents should pay tax. Eton & it's ilk are the root of British inequality but then of course you know that and are fighting to keep it.
