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.

Quirister Association
The Quiristers, choirboys aged 8 to 13, have always been part of our Foundation. These sixteen singers are unique in England; no other school retains its own Choir School to provide the treble line for its Chapel Choir. Their contribution to the musical life of the School and worship in the Chapel is of the highest standard.The Quirister Association provides the opportunity for former Quiristers to reconnect with the School, to keep in touch with one another, to support current Qs and the Chapel Choir, and to help maintain this distinctive choral tradition .
Every year Winchester College Society hosts events for Old Quiristers, and invitations are sent out in advance.
If you would like further information about the Quirister Association please email us at quiristers@wincoll.ac.uk or telephone +44 (0)1962 621264.
