Eton's head master has denied that an 'ideological framework' is being taught to pupils.
Simon Henderson, 47, hit back at critics who say he has a progressive agenda at the elite private school – saying he is 'not a revolutionary'.
It comes after he was accused of launching an 'aggressively woke' cultural revolution in an effort to overhaul the 583-year-old institution.
This included creating a new role of 'director of inclusion education' to oversee diversity efforts.
Mr Henderson – nicknamed Trendy Hendy – said: 'Eton has a particular place in the public consciousness. From time to time when there have been difficult moments I think some people have latched on to that. I would not say that I'm a revolutionary.
'From time to time when there have been difficult moments I think some people have latched on to that. I would not say that I'm a revolutionary.
'I always raise a bit of a wry smile when people describe me as woke because I'm pretty institutionalised.
