Admissions
Admissions
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.

Community
Community
Although the School is immediately outside the mediaeval city walls of Winchester near to Kingsgate, it has always been a part of the wider community and this is nowhere more evident than in its current geography.

Soccer

Soccer is played in Short Half at Winchester and caters for all abilities. There are many School teams and at times 17 are put out in inter School fixtures. These range from the 1st XI to Yearlings D. House Football leagues thrive and cater for non-School A team players; Flower Pot for Seniors and Ellis Pot for the Juniors are keenly contested throughout the term. Two primary House cup competitions provide opportunities for Houses to field their best XI; Chawker Pot in the Senior School and Foster Pot in the Junior School.
Over and above the full and varied fixture lists faced by the School teams, regular training sessions are organised during the week. The Senior Soccer Squad has an annual pre-season training week in Holland. Junior School teams have recently taken part in International Tournaments in Holland at Easter with some success.
The School has superb pitches and excellent ground staff. School Soccer could not function without the enthusiasm of a large number of dons in Common Room who represent a broad cross-section, whether by age or experience, and all work around the School's first full-time Soccer Professional, Lew Chatterley, formerly of Aston Villa and Southampton.
