Every member of staff plays a role in pastoral care, with many also serving as house tutors. Support begins from day one, ensuring a smooth transition into school life and addressing any concerns early.
Each pupil’s wellbeing is overseen by their Housemaster or Housemistress, who develops a deep, personal understanding of each pupil, from their academic progress, mental and physical health, and participation in extra-curricular activities.
They are supported by a dedicated house team including tutors from diverse academic backgrounds, a matron, and a paediatric nurse, who work together to provide daily care and guidance, helping every pupil to make the most of every opportunity Winchester has to offer.
The Health and Wellbeing Centre is staffed 24-hours a day by an experienced team of paediatric nurses and healthcare assistants, led by our Lead Nurse and Centre Manager. Centrally located within the College, the Centre provides a safe, welcoming environment where pupils can receive professional medical care and support whenever it is needed.
We work in partnership with St Paul’s Surgery, a local GP practice to provide on-site medical services, and our nursing team also delivers specialist support clinics, including asthma, allergy and ADHD care, ensuring pupils’ health and wellbeing are comprehensively supported.

Located on College Street, our Learning Centre provides tailored one-to-one support for pupils, including those with Special Educational Needs.
Any pupil can request support sessions, whether they’re looking to overcome a specific challenge or aiming for academic excellence – including preparation for Oxbridge and other top universities.
The department also conducts assessments for specific learning difficulties and advises on appropriate access arrangements for exams.
Additionally, it offers regular study skills sessions for pupils across different year groups.
