Education
Education
A Winchester education is unique. Our pupils enjoy good teaching and our teachers enjoy the liveliness of bright pupils. Success in examinations is one consequence of this, but we think it more important to encourage boys to love learning.

An Improved School for an Indian Village
AN IMPROVED SCHOOL FOR AN INDIAN VILLAGE
Having raised £16,000 to purchase building materials, twenty-two Wykehamists travelled to India at the end of March to work towards the completion of a primary school in India. An overnight train journey from Delhi, a day-and-half in jeeps followed by a two-and-a-half day trek (reaching at one stage 9,000 feet) took them to the village of Tarsaal, where they found the school half-built. Living under canvas for five days in the valley below the village, the boys threw themselves into the construction work, shifting huge quantities of earth by hand, digging foundations for a supplementary building and moving rock, stone and brick for the masons. Another group set about painting and decorating the building which currently serves as the school. A cairn was built to house the commemoration plaque which records Winchester's contribution to the project.
