Winchester College is a full boys’ boarding school; rich in ancient heritage, set beside the River Itchen on the edge of a National Park, within the beautiful and historic city of Winchester.

We welcome bright and kind boys who are guided by imaginative, inspiring teachers. Our boys are taught to think, to question, to converse, to pursue what fascinates them and to remain actively curious throughout their lives.

We are proud of our reputation for exam success, but an education here provides a lot more. Nowhere is this illustrated more powerfully than in our non-examined subject known as ‘Div’. Div sessions range from the Ancient to the Modern World, investigating historical, cultural, artistic, scientific and philosophical themes. ‘Div’ encourages boys to explore topics in the round and to see connections without the constraints of working to an examined schedule. Div is the hallmark of a Winchester education and ensures that we turn out well-rounded individuals with a wide-ranging breadth of knowledge, able to talk with confidence to anyone about anything.
