Winchester House is a boarding and day Preparatory School. The majority of the boarders are boys, but there is also a thriving girls' boarding house.
The seven-year-olds have their own small community (the Third Form), enabling them to settle in easily. Once in the Upper School at about the age of eight, each age group is divided into sets on a subject basis. This enables an individual to be taught at the level and pace appropriate in each subject. Children are prepared for scholarships and the Common Entrance exam.
Additionally, there is a wide variety of activities on offer: music, art, games, sports, drama, canoeing, camping, shooting, etc. The children are encouraged to take part in these activities and to give of their best in all that they do.
There is also a separate Pre-preparatory department of 90 children aged 3-7 (fees ú500-ú1320).
