ABOUT WINCHESTER COLLEGE
For nearly 650 years Wykehamists have been taught and nurtured in an atmosphere of intellectual inquiry and academic excellence.

A large, full boarding school, Winchester is in the process of expanding pupil numbers and transitioning to co-education in the Sixth Form, with the transition expected to be complete by 2029. In 2025, Winchester merged with The Pilgrims’ School, one of the leading academic prep schools for boys with a particularly strong musical tradition founded on its unique status as a double choir school.
