A TEENAGER at an inner-city comprehensive in London has won a scholarship to Eton. Diego O’Neill, aged 16, will transfer to the public school after completing his GCSEs at South Camden community college, north London.

Diego beat thousands of other applicants to win one of four fully-paid scholarships to Eton’s sixth-form offered to state schools.
