Covid-19 impacts some young people much more than others and all involved in education must work together to address this growing inequality. Therefore, today we announce that over the next 5 years Eton will spend at least £100 million on 4 key initiatives #EtonPartnerships (1/6)

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)

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)
