Anyone knows when do we expect results to be sent out?
My son had an interview in mid January and I’m excited to hear from them.
Don’t want to chase the school 😉 so I was wondering for any advice here
Thank you

I think we can all agree that the teaching is fairly liberal and inquisitive. What boys bring from home is entirely different. You could end up in a house and year group which doesn’t fit with your family’s world view, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.

In my opinion that’s one of the greatest added value of a boarding school, and Wincoll’s div is made to encourage diversity of opinion. It is true that Eton and Westminster are more obviously on either end of the spectrum, and you can easily fund your cult in those schools (it is fairly obvious which one is which) so if you are ideologically committed then those are probably better choices.

Wincoll loves debate and diversity of views. That’s how it is set up, that’s why they spend more time on div than any other subject. A div don once told us that a good div lesson is where there are equal camps on each side
of the argument. That summarises Wincoll. It is not a sect, it is an inquisitive liberal school.

We like that but I appreciate that it’s not for everyone.

That was certainly our experience of Winchester when DS was there, until quite recently.
He got his scholarship with a critical essay on Margaret Thatcher - what else could you expect from the great grandson of a Welsh miner?
Some of his friends in College were from Conservative or right wing families. DS, and others, were from working class backgrounds and had bursaries enabling them to attend.
They all learned to listen to each other's views with respect, despite being from a wide range of backgrounds. Challenge and debate was definitely encouraged and they were expected to support their views with robust evidence.

Hello, Dose anyone know if the waiting list moves?

We are also waiting and have not heard any news of any movement from those around us.

We received ours at 10:47am. Maybe they are sending them out per house or alphabetically?

Winchester is our first choice too.
I wonder how anyone can spread bad comments about the changes that haven't happened yet? Sad 😢 how people just like to rock the boat.
Truly that makes us question our choices.
I'm trying to tell myself - everything changes in life. Even boys who join change characters over years and therefore the school vibe changes. There is no guarantee ever that this will work for us but that's the risk we are willing to take 🤞
