Elite boarding schools in UK

Boys - Westminster (only very few boarding places), Eton
Girls - Wycombe Abbey, Cheltenham Ladies'
Co-ed - Sevenoaks
These are just my personal favorites but there are many others which are equally good.

There aren't many pure boys' schools any more (<10 that I can name off the top of my head).
Many like Rugby has turned fully co-ed, but some like Westminster & Charterhouse accept girls only for A-levels.

CPU, you have always given out good advice, but this time I think you have given out a very wrong message.
Out of all the schools you have mentioned this time, Shrewsbury really is close to the bottom of the pile in terms of academic achievements, judging by their persistent low ranking compared with the other schools.
The fact that some of their students get into Oxbridge is irrelevant.
The percentage of successful Oxbridge candidate is far higher in Winchester, Harrow, Tonbridge, Badminton & Charterhouse.
According to the guide to independent schools, the percentage of successful Oxbridge candidates are:
Westminster  - 45%
Winchester    - 37%
Tonbridge      - 22%
Badminton     - 20%
Harrow          - 15%
Charterhouse - 14%
St Peter's       - 12%
Monmouth     - 10%
Shrewsbury    - 9%
Don't get me wrong - I still consider Shrewsbury to be a good school, just nowhere near the top of the list!
