From the age of about twelve until he was seventeen, Newton was educated at The King's School, Grantham.

He was removed from school by his mother who wanted him to become a farmer.

Henry Stokes, master at the King's School, persuaded his mother to send him back to school.

In June 1661, he was admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge as a sizar - a sort of work-study role.

Shortly after Newton had obtained his degree in August 1665, the university temporarily closed as a precaution against the Great Plague.

Newton's studies at his home in Woolsthorpe in the next two years saw the development of his theories on calculus, optics and the law of gravitation.

In 1667, he returned to Cambridge as a fellow of Trinity College.
