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.

Sub Aqua
 |
 |
People are attracted to diving for many reasons. It allows movement in three dimensions and opens up a new world of different plant and animal life. Some are drawn to the sport by their desire to explore wrecks that have been undisturbed for centuries. Whatever the motivation, the sport will help bring a greater respect and understanding for the world in which we live.
At Winchester we offer a full range of PADI diving courses from beginner/novice diving to rescue and speciality diving. The courses are open to all fit and able boys. Beginners' courses are conducted at the School using the School pool, and open water sessions are at Portsmouth or Portland. The School classrooms are used for all theory sessions. The Winchester College Sub Aqua Club offers boys an opportunity to gain a qualification in this exciting sport.
