Well whichever schools the Windsors attended haven't done much of a job, have they?

Answer 3

Royalty and nobility tend to go the British Public schools. These are not the same as American Public schools (which in the UK are called state schools).

Public schools in the UK are highly exclusive, private, independent fee-paying schools. They include Eton, Harrow and Gordonstoun.

St Andrews. Cambridge and Oxford are Universities not schools.

The nobility will send their sons and daughters to whichever school they want but will normally choose a fee-paying school with boarding facilities.

Answer 4

Eton, is popular in the Windsor royalty.

Cambridge & Oxford are also popular to study.

Answer 5

g*y school

Answer 6

I second Sybaris.

Note that in Britain an expensive private school is called a "public school", for historical reasons too complicated and boring to explain. Traditionally the poshest of all for boys is Eton (it's also conveniently next door to Windsor, so young royals can go for tea at Granny's at weekends), and next poshest is Harrow, as attended by Lord Byron, but many aristocrats wouldn't dream of sending their boys to either. (Also, British Lords are not necessarily rich; many just couldn't afford it even if they wanted to.)

All the public schools have their own characteristics , e.g: Ampleforth and Stonyhurst are Catholic schools run by monks, and traditionally Catholic nobs go there. Some public schools are just for the fearsomely clever - e.g. St Paul's and Winchester.

Until the 20th century posh girls were educated at home by governesses, so there isn't an equivalent tradition of fearsomely posh girls' schools - the most famous girls' public schools, such as Cheltenham Ladies' College and St Paul's Girls', were founded to promote women's education and civil rights and were intended to prepare girls for university rather than to make them posh.

As for tertiary education, for those who feel the need of and capacity for it at all (it has always been socially acceptable in England - though not in Scotland or Wales - to be a bit thick) all the ancient universities are OK - Oxford, Cambridge, St Andrews, Durham. Also popular among the landowning classes is the Royal Agricultural College at Cirencester; lots of their sons and heirs go to the "Aggie" to learn to manage their estates.

Answer 7

Well, Princes William and Harry both attended Eton, and Princess Anne went to Benenden.  Top public schools also include Harrow and Rugby; also Charterhouse, Dulwich and Bedales.  After that, top pupils might attend university, like Oxford or Cambridge, for further education.  We don't call universities "schools".  (Many of our "top" people, like politicians, etc, went to these schools too along with children of the nobility.)

Take a look here at some top public schools by area:

N.B: In the United Kingdom the term "school" is not generally used to describe institutions of further or higher education (exceptions include the London School of Economics and the School of Oriental and African Studies), but it is used to denote academic and administrative divisions within a university, such as a medical school or a school of engineering or political science. It is otherwise restricted to primary and secondary schools.
