I've teamed up with one of the headmasters at Eton College, and we're spearheading a kind of 'slow education movement in Britain'. It's based on this idea of moving away from the fast-food approach to learning and going to something deeper, more woolly, harder to measure.

Harry Lloyd
I went to prep school, Eton and Oxford. When people hear that, they think they know you, and you think: 'No, you don't.'

Charlie Siem
