WHERE IN WINCHESTER 

We benefit from a winning combination of town and country. 

An London by direct train, with easy access to all the major travel hubs, and surrounded by the countryside of the South Downs National Park.

The school sits between Winchester Cathedral and Winchester College, within the secure and historic Cathedral Close.

The bustling historic city of Winchester is on our doorstep, or step out of our back gate to find water meadows, countryside, and the South Downs Way.

OUR ENVIRONMENT

The ancient city wall runs around the boundary of our extensive games pitches, which are right next to the school. Adjacent to the Bishop’s Palace and the ruins of Wolvesey Castle, they offer a glorious view of the Cathedral. Few school pitches anywhere offer such a stunning setting.  We also make full use of Winchester College’s beautiful grounds, effectively extending our campus over the road and giving our boys unrivalled access to state-of-the-art facilities.        

A tributary of the River Itchen flows through our grounds.  Further downstream the boys can fish and the nearby water meadows are protected nature reserves with an abundance of wildflowers and birds.  An Iron Age fort with a maze at the top of St Catherine’s Hill is within easy walking distance of the school. These are wonderful resources for supervised explorations and activities with the boys – and the hill is perfect for toboggans when it snows! 

The beautiful and venerable buildings that surround us are a constant source of inspiration, and an ever-present reminder of history and tradition.
