Eton College Summer School<br />
“Aside from the late<br />
nights, early mornings and<br />
increasingly challenging<br />
workload, the Eton College<br />
Summer School produced<br />
ten vibrant and memorable days. From exploring the roots of calculus<br />
to being immersed in the infinitesimal world of quantum mechanics, the<br />
programme broadened my understanding of Physics and Mathematics.<br />
The unique offering of this Summer School was flexibility of thinking,<br />
abandoning all constraints to our creativity and perception. Consequently,<br />
I left Eton convinced the contemporary education system is antiquated”.<br />

Every<br />
year Eton College<br />
runs a residential<br />
summer school open to aspirational<br />
year 12 students across the country.<br />
With only 120 places available it is<br />
a highly competitive and prestigious<br />
opportunity. This year we worked<br />
with the charity SPARK to support<br />
15 talented and deserving <strong>Cranford</strong><br />
candidates through the application<br />
process. I was overjoyed when I<br />
received an email informing me<br />
that four of our students had been<br />
successful and would be attending the<br />
summer school this year.<br />
Ria Kalia, Onkar Riyat, Subhan Jaura<br />
and Faisa Ali all attended the Summer<br />
School from Tuesday 2nd – Friday<br />
12th July <strong>2019</strong> and were immersed<br />
in a world quite different to their<br />
own. Each day students engaged in<br />
lectures and were set assignments and<br />
experienced a range of sporting and<br />
cultural opportunities.<br />

“My time at Eton was inspiring, galvanising and really fun. For me, it<br />
was the optimum summer school experience as learning from teachers who<br />
are really passionate about their subjects specifically, maths and physics<br />
allowed me to enrich my knowledge even further about problem solving<br />
and engineering which will help me achieve my goals of becoming an<br />
aerospace engineer from a top university. Also, learning alongside some<br />
of the country’s brightest young minds inspired me to push my capabilities<br />
and excel in whatever challenge I face. Every day we were introduced to<br />
something much better and significant for our own interests. Personally,<br />
apart from the sports activities I really enjoyed learning about music tech<br />
and how to use music software. It is something special that I can proudly<br />
put on my skills list. I’m thankful to everyone at Eton and all the lifelong<br />
friends I have made whilst living there in a short but an exhilarating<br />
period of time”.<br />
Subhan Jaura (year 12)<br />
“The Eton Summer School was an amazing opportunity that I wouldn’t<br />
have been able to attend without <strong>Cranford</strong>’s help. We spent 10 days being<br />
pushed to the limits via lessons that questioned our thinking at every<br />
step, and homework that took us into the early hours of the morning. But,<br />
when paired with the amazing teachers, stunning facilities and a really<br />
wholesome community, it made for a truly enjoyable experience. I made<br />
some friends who I’ll never forget and learnt skills that will get me to my<br />
dream university and help me get through it too”.<br />
Ria Kalia (year 12)<br />
“Studying at Eton for the summer school was an amazing experience. Our<br />
days were intensive, with specialist sessions, tutorials and lectures but<br />
still immensely enjoyable. It was great to be able to delve into my subject<br />
at such a high level and used advanced equipment in the lab. We also<br />
received highly specific advice into university admissions and improving<br />
our personal statements, something I found to be very useful. All in all,<br />
it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend it to others”.<br />
Faisa Ali (year 12)
