Founded in 1382 by Bishop William of Wykeham, Winchester College is one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious full‑boarding schools for boys aged 13–18. Set on a historic 250‑acre campus featuring medieval architecture, playing fields, water meadows, and a riverside boathouse, the College combines timeless tradition with academic innovation.
Academic Excellence & Div Curriculum
Winchester achieves excellent academic success: in 2023, 79.6% of A‑Level grades were A–A* and 88.4% of GCSE results were graded 7+ (50.5% at grade 9). The unique Div programme—an in‑house seminar on history, literature, philosophy—develops critical thinking and debate. Around 17% of leavers achieve Oxbridge offers, and many access top global universities including Harvard, Columbia, and MIT.
Boarding & Pastoral Care
As a full‑boarding institution, Winchester community is organized into 11 historic houses (Collegemen and Commoners) overseen by housemasters and tutors. The school provides 24/7 pastoral care, mentoring, and a structured yet nurturing environment that balances academics, chapel, and social life.
Extensive Co-curricular Programme
Winchester offers more than 30 sports including its unique “Winchester Football”, rowing, fives, rugby, and a strong Combined Cadet Force. Music and arts flourish through ensembles, choirs, and drama productions. The Boat Club boasts a boathouse on the River Itchen and a record at Henley.
Community Engagement & Heritage
The College engages in local outreach: sharing museum collections, hosting workshops, and opening grounds to public events. Its 94 listed buildings and landscapes serve as living laboratories of history and heritage.
