The School

According to the commercially published Good Schools Guide, the school "has arguably the finest tradition of scholarship of any school in the country", is "uniquely civilised", and provides an "academically, comradely and architecturally privileged boyhood most Wykehamists treasure throughout their lives." The upper-class lifestyle magazine Tatler named the school as its "Public School of the Year" in 2010.
In the years 2007-2012 a total of 231 Wykehamists have matriculated to Oxford and Cambridge, an average of 46 per year (34% of the cohort). In addition 55 places have been secured at premier US universities, including Brown, Chicago, Columbia, Georgetown, Harvard, Princeton, UNC, UPenn and Yale over the same period. Taken together this means that 42% go to the world's leading universities.

Winchester has its own entrance examination, and does not use Common Entrance like other major public schools.

Every pupil at Winchester lives in a boarding house
Each house is presided over by a housemaster and a number of house tutors (usually fi ve or six – Mon to Fri). Houses compete in school competitions, mostly in sporting competitions.
Each house has an offi cial name, usually based on the family name of the rst housemaster
Winchester has extensive international links with a group of schools around the world through which exchange of educational practice and ideas and cross-cultural encounter can be developed over the long term. The Winchester International Symposium has ten member schools, including Winchester.
