About Winchester College

Winchester College is an English private school for pupils aged 13โ€“18 in Winchester, Hampshire. It was founded by William of Wykeham in 1382 as a feeder school for New College, Oxford, and has operated continuously on its present site ever since. It is the oldest of the nine public schools investigated by the Clarendon Commission. Historically, the school was a boys' boarding school, but from September 2022, it has accepted both male and female day pupils into its sixth form.
