Eton College has unveiled plans to open a sixth-form centre in Oldham in a move designed to open up Oxbridge and other elite universities to the town's students.
The famous boarding school for boys, where Princes William and Harry studied, will bid to open three selective sixth-form free schools in education 'cold spots' identified in the Government's Levelling Up paper, it was announced tonight.
Two other post-16 Eton colleges are being proposed in Dudley and Middlesbrough. Those two towns and Oldham are included in a list of 55 education areas targeted for additional support by the Government.
