Eton College

Richard Eden writing in the Daily Mail has claimed Eton College in Berkshire is considering admitting girls.

Eton’s provost Lord Waldegrave, the former Conservative Cabinet minister is quoted saying: “I’ll let you into a secret. Every year, the governors of Eton consider whether Eton should go co-ed.  And we don’t quite decide. But, of course, we will go co-ed in due course.”

Lord Waldegrave has been provost, or chairman of Eton’s governing body, since 2009.
