Sebastian Horsley

If someone thinks I’m posh, it just shows how lowly they are. Some people think I went to Eton. I’m far too stupid to get into Eton.

– Sebastian Horsley

Rachael Stirling

My dear dad always tried to introduce me to children of his friends, but I just never took to them. Those were the people we were shoved with at school dances, usually Eton boys because it was the cleverest boys’ school, and ours was supposed to be the cleverest girls’ school.

– Rachael Stirling

John le Carre

I taught principally German language and literature at Eton. But any master with private pupils must be prepared to teach anything they ask for. That can be as diverse as the early paintings of Salvador Dali or how bumblebees manage to fly.

– John le Carre

Ivo Graham

I went to Eton, that’s a slightly controversial issue, but it’s an interesting subject to try and come across as likable and self-aware and possibly even defeat a couple of stereotypes.

– Ivo Graham

Harry Lloyd

I went to prep school, Eton and Oxford. When people hear that, they think they know you, and you think: ‘No, you don’t.’

– Harry Lloyd

Probably the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing-fields of Eton, but the opening battles of all subsequent wars have been lost there.

– George Orwell

Eddie Redmayne

– Eddie Redmayne

Duke of Wellington

The battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton.

– Duke of Wellington

Cherie Blair

Someone with 4As at A-level from Eton may look good on paper and come across as very smooth, but push a bit more, and often you get the impression they have learned to pass exams rather than think for themselves.

– Cherie Blair

Charlie Siem

Where I went to school, Eton College, we had to wear dark trousers, a tailcoat, and a stiff, starched collar every day, and that was fine with me: Part of the reason I wanted to go there was because I’ve always loved dressing up.

– Charlie Siem

Carl Honore

I’ve teamed up with one of the headmasters at Eton College, and we’re spearheading a kind of ‘slow education movement in Britain’. It’s based on this idea of moving away from the fast-food approach to learning and going to something deeper, more woolly, harder to measure.

– Carl Honore

Boris Johnson

I’d like thousands of schools as good as the one I went to, Eton.

– Boris Johnson
