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.

Pastoral Care
Pastoral Care
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.

International Symposium
takes place 21-27 March. The participants come from the African Leadership Academy Johannesburg; Johannes Kepler Grammar School Prague; Karachi Grammar School Pakistan; Montgomery Bell Academy Tennessee; Nada School Kobe Japan; Raffles Institution Singapore; Shiyan High School Shenyang China and Winchester College. Two pupils and one faculty member from each school will attend. A different distinguished expert will address the conference each morning to be followed by a three hour seminar in the afternoon.
The theme for the conference is: The values and practices that led to the current financial meltdown are discredited. What practical steps can our countries take over the next 30 years to help to build a global economy on the rock of justice and solidarity rather than self-interest and greed?
Further information on the conference may be found here and a more general set of principles behind Winchester's international links may be found here and also under the International Links section of the web site .
