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.

Basketball
![]() |
Basketball is one of the fastest growing and popular sports in Britain, and it is played throughout Winchester College. It is a very technical sport which requires considerable decision making ability as well as dedication and teamwork, so it is well-suited to the talents of Wykehamists. The School fields teams at four age groups with the top two years combining to produce the senior team. Many of the matches are ‘friendlies', but the school also enters competitions, including the National Schools competition in which the senior team has been successful in recent years.
Players of all ability are welcomed at training and although the senior team is very successful, an attempt is made to provide an inclusive ‘club' atmosphere in coaching sessions. Training and matches take place in both Short Half and Common Time with the bulk of the friendly fixtures taking place after Christmas.
