Eton College or Harrow School 2019

There are some out of date threads about this subject . Can anyone help identify the current positives in either or both schools? D.S will be going to one of them next September. New Head Masters e.t.c?

For example, Eton - is eat in house or Bekynton the way forward? Or, is that completely irrelevant and should we only consider the House Master?

Harrow, what sort of cohort are we likely to expect?

Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

They are both excellent schools, you have obviously been through the whole admissions process and your DS has been offered a place at both, why on earth would you be wondering about what other schools might be like at this stage?

If your DS is going next year you will soon be meeting Housemasters, why not just choose the one your DS likes best?

How do you expect people here to tell you what next years cohort is going to be like at any school. I think both schools like a variety, and yes, choosing Bekynton or a catering house is probably the least important thing to consider when choosing a house.

My DS was at Eton, btw, and I am happy to help, but your post is just so weird!

Also, why discount other schools in favour of these two, and what schools are likely to be discounted, or favoured?
