This might be a double definition.

'a school' is the first definition.
(famous UK public school)

'place' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eton that I've seen before include "School near Slough" , "Public school founded by Henry VI" , "Posh British public school" , "learn here?" , "Public school near Windsor" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
