Student Visit Days

This year, the Partnerships team coordinated five state school student visits to Eton College, with at least one per term. Each visit hosted between 10-20 students from primary to sixth-form age. Usually running from 10am-3pm, students are led by the Eton Connect Coordinator through a variety of activities aimed at addressing a theme chosen by the school e.g. student leadership or aspiration building.  

Students visit many parts of the College over the day, they may have a museum visit, a fives session, a critical thinking workshop and a print lesson in the art department, for example. In this format, departments have only to prepare a 40-minute session and everything else is coordinated by the partnerships team. Both break and lunchtime are spent with Eton students of the same year group. The aim is that students experience a full and varied day, meeting lots of different staff members and students at Eton.
