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.

WINCHESTER BIBLES EXHIBITION
An exhibition to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible has been officially opened. The Warden presided. The Fellows' Librarian welcomed 70 guests, who included Fellows of the College, descendants of the Winchester translators of the KJV, scholars and bibliophiles. The exhibition, consiting not only of the College's copy of the first edition of the KJV, but also bibles in other languages and their scholarly apparatus held in the Fellows' Library, which form a unique collection of printed books, was introduced by Paul Quarrie FSA, who curated the exhibition and wrote the catalogue. An Occasional Address was given by Sir Jeremy Morse OW, former Warden of Winchester.
The exhibition, which is open to the public, will continue until 23 September.
