The admission of boys to Winchester at age thirteen is largely in the hands of Housemasters. When a boy is eight years old his name can be registered for entry into the School as a prospective member of a particular boarding House.

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.

Everything we do at Winchester is an aspect of our pastoral care of the boys; classes, sports teams, clubs and societies. We are a fully resident community and we think of ourselves as a network of friends.

Badminton
 |
 |
Badminton continues to thrive as a recreational sport at Winchester. We enjoy two or three session a week during which players are able to compete with one another in singles or doubles matches, improve their technique by practising, or simply enjoy spending some time with friends and getting some exercise.
Around 15 - 25 players usually turn up to each session, ensuring that our facilities are always used to capacity. There is a core contingent of boys in the School who take Badminton very seriously and they work to help other players improve their skills as well as competing against each other.
Badminton is played purely recreationally at Winchester, although occasional ‘friendly' fixtures with other schools have occurred in the past.
