The UK private school that produced seven Olympians

Britain's Olympic stars are drawn from diverse backgrounds and plenty of Team GB's medal-winners have been inspired by teachers at state schools. But amid the medal haul one private school stands out for its eye-catching contribution – Millfield in Somerset has taught seven of the competitors and ex-pupils have won two gold medals.

Helen Glover, who was at the independent school in Somerset from 2002 to 2004, won Britain's first gold medal in the women's rowing pair. Peter Wilson, who was at Millfield from 2000 to 2005, won gold in the double trap shooting.
