WELCOME TO THE
ANNUAL REPORT OF
WINCHESTER COLLEGE
In this Report for 2010-2011, Damian
Harper (I, 1977-82), our Guest Editor,
has assembled what we believe you will
find a most interesting volume. In addition
to his personal reflections on his educational
experience at Winchester, Damian has
commissioned articles covering a wide
range of topics, including our Bible
Exhibition of 2011, Simon Taylor’s
distinguished contribution to Drama at
Winchester and the government-sponsored
scheme which ran from the late 1940s to the
mid-1970s, affording access to Winchester
to a group known as The Fleming Boys.
Articles on the School’s social service
programme and our global presence amplify
the Headmaster’s account of the School’s
activities beyond Winchester, while the
financial perspectives contributed by the
Bursar and the Chairman of the Finance
Committee of the Governing Body are
underpinned by the Warden’s survey of the
responsibilities of the Warden and Fellows as
custodians of what can accurately be termed
a historic site of world standing. There is
much between these covers to interest and
inspire Winchester’s supporters!
1
April 2010, has released the Victorian Museum
building for sorely-needed general-purpose space
for parents’ gatherings, examinations and the like.
Added to this burden of privilege is the
maintenance of the river (and canal) which flows
through our campus and the water meadows
which lie on either side of it, a benefit not only for
the School but also for the public of the City of
Winchester and beyond.
Two major building requirements confront us
in the foreseeable future, neither of them ancient
buildings, but both of them essential to the School’s
work of education. We have recently re-roofed
New Hall, built in the late 1950s, as the first stage
of an extensive modernising and refurbishment
project to bring it up to modern safety and
sustainability standards, as a multi-purpose
venue for concerts, parents’ gatherings and
lettings for public use. The Governing Body has
approved plans for this project and we intend to
begin the work in summer 2013. The second major
project on the horizon, as yet unplanned in detail,
is the extension of the PE Centre on Kingsgate Park.
In addition to Heritage buildings and land, the
College is the inheritor and custodian of treasures,
largely accumulated gifts over the centuries,
which also impose upon it a duty of care.
“ I cannot think of a school
which enjoys the privilege
of such a beautiful setting.
Under the benign shadow
of one of the great cathedrals
of Europe, the College nestles
with ancient dignity.”
Sir David Clementi
(E, 1962-67)

It goes without saying that Winchester’s core
objective is the provision of a first-class modern
education in a boarding context. The Headmaster
and his staff are tasked with ensuring that this core
objective is delivered with the best possible quality.
There are many elements which conspire to make
the Winchester experience distinctive, not least of
which is the School’s physical setting. Wykehamists
spend the five years of their secondary education
surrounded by historic and particularly beautiful
buildings and grounds, the care of which is a
major curatorial and financial responsibility
for the Governing Body.
I cannot think of a school which enjoys the
privilege of such a beautiful setting. Under the
benign shadow of one of the great cathedrals of
Europe, the College nestles with ancient dignity.
Outer Gate, still surmounted by its medieval statue
of St Mary from whom the College takes its name,
gives way to an ensemble of stone, flint, glass and
cobble which is venerable, humane and practical.
The Warden’s Lodgings include the Fellows’ Library,
one of the great collections of ancient printed books
in the land; it includes the Founder’s own copy of
the Life of St Thomas Becket. The Brewery was long
ago converted into Moberly Library, possibly the
most beautiful school library in the world.
2
Twenty years ago its lower storey was converted
to receive the Eccles Collection of first edition
private press books. At right angles to it are the
long-disused Warden’s Stables, to which I will
return later.
All privilege brings with it the burden of
responsibility. These buildings, intrinsic to the
character of the education the School provides,
have proved remarkably adaptable over six hundred
years, but they are expensive to sustain. Since 2006
the Governing Body has made a clear distinction
among three main areas: its Heritage custodianship,
which includes care of ancient buildings and other
inherited treasures; maintenance and development
of the teaching and boarding facilities and housing
for dons; and endowment for scholarships and
bursaries. Over the last seven years the College has
financed the restoration of the stonework of Chapel,
the modernisation of the Scholars’ accommodation
in College to a standard acceptable in a modern
boarding school, the establishment of College
Sick House (in order to meet current health and
safety standards) in new premises backing onto
Meads (known as New Bethesda) and the
conversion of Old Bethesda, a unique ensemble
of 17th century house and garden, for use as Dons’
Common Room. This last project, completed in
WINCHESTER COLLEGE
We recognise that we have a duty to provide access
to its premises and holdings both to the boys whom
we educate and to the public at large. Our treasures
include not only the books housed and maintained
in the Fellows’ Library and the Eccles Room,
but also pictures, silver, porcelain and sculpture.
The Governing Body has focused recently on how
best to manage these treasures, formulating a
strict acquisitions and disposals policy based on
museum standards. We are committed not only
to maintaining any item with a known history of
provenance connected directly with the College,
but to displaying those items for educational
purposes. Two of our treasures currently on loan,
François Lemoyne’s painting, The Annunciation,
to the National Gallery, and two of our medieval
tapestries to the British Library, provide a model
for future practice. In addition, however, and here
I return to the Warden’s Stables in Outer Court,
we are well advanced with a project to convert those
stables to a Museum fit to display our treasures on a
rolling programme of exhibitions. The sum required
for conversion of the building and its maintenance
in perpetuity is £3million, much of which is in hand,
thanks to a group of generous donors, but some of
which we still need to secure before we can go
ahead with the project.
I have concentrated in this introduction on the
special burden of privilege which arises from the
setting and wonderful buildings of the College.
We have worked hard to maintain this heritage
and we will continue to do so. But this is only one
of the many wonderful aspects of life at Winchester;
and in this report you can read about a number of
our other activities, many of them made possible
through the help and generosity of our growing
number of supporters.

“ The School belongs to a wider
world, less ordered and coherent,
but nevertheless one in which it
is essential to know our place –
for it is that world, ultimately,
in which the Wykehamist
will live and work.”
In the last five years other educational links
have developed. Since 2006 we have hosted for the
whole of Common Time two senior boys from the
Johannes Kepler Grammar School in Prague, several
of whom have gone on to university study at Oxford
and Cambridge. Twice a year we run a joint Sunday
study day with a range of girls’ schools, state and
private, where about sixty boys and girls engage
together in an intellectual forum with a strong social
element. These study days include boys and girls
from Midhurst Rother College, our partner academy
in Sussex, now our largest single extra-mural
commitment in a state-private enterprise from
which both sides derive stimulating educational
aspiration and awareness. The governance of MRC
includes an OW as its chairman, a Fellow and three
senior dons. Young Winchester dons can complete
their formal teacher training at MRC.
In March 2010, in association with the American
Friends of Winchester College, two senior boys,
a don and five young American graduates who
had recently completed short-term teaching
appointments at Winchester took part in a Global
Education Forum organised by the Education
Faculty of the University of Pennsylvania. This gave
heads and staff from a dozen Philadelphian schools
an opportunity to hear from our boys an account
of Winchester’s approach to the wider world.
The Director of that programme came and spent
a week at Winchester in March, and we hope to
plan another similar seminar.
Our boldest initiative has been on a global scale.
The Winchester International Symposium is a
network of ten schools, one in each of China, Japan,
Singapore, India, Pakistan, South Africa, the Czech
Republic, Colombia, Nashville Tennessee and,
of course, Winchester in the UK. Winchester took

A MESSAGE FROM
THE HEADMASTER
Winchester is a fascinating collegiate community,
replete with a lively intelligentsia of various ages and
interests, its own lore and notions, all underscored
with the pulsating energy of youth. It is a world in
itself, able to impress a world-view upon young
impressionable minds. It is this self-contained
completeness which makes the Winchester
experience such a satisfying one during the five
years of a Wykehamist’s pupillage. Yet there is a
danger in this rich educational fare of stimulating
teaching and cultural life, beautiful buildings,
gardens, river and playing fields – which is the
danger of losing a sense of context. The School
belongs to a wider world, less ordered and coherent,
but nevertheless one in which it is essential to know
our place – for it is that world, ultimately, in which
the Wykehamist will live and work.
The world outside the walls enclosing Meads
in fact plays an increasingly significant part of the
School’s day-to-day life. To begin with, we belong
to a university market-place which requires us,
with every other school, to prepare pupils for higher
education. Like every other school we need to judge
the range of courses and credentials that best suit
our clientele. That assessment is what led to our
abandoning A-level courses in 2008 in favour of
the Cambridge Pre-U menu, the demands of
4
which we felt provided more challenge both for
our boys and the dons who teach them. That was,
so to speak, a bread-and-butter decision which
has very definitely enhanced the intellectual
tone of the School.
Historically, Winchester has for many years
engaged with the wider world through what
the Victorians called mission. The Portsmouth
Mission, remembered by more senior OWs,
was a commitment to local welfare engagement in
the post-war years. Our current local Community
Service project, which employs more than half the
School every Wednesday afternoon, grew out of the
Portsmouth Mission. Our links with the Crown
and Manor Club in Hoxton, presently rebuilding
its premises, have for many years entailed an annual
football match between the Club and the School,
and now include our younger dons helping boys
in the Club to achieve their university ambitions
by way of extra tuition and counselling. This link
is alive and well – and, indeed, growing. In addition
we now have firm links with primary schools in the
Lambeth area of London, whence we are able to
find suitable boys whose parents are keen for their
sons to come to Winchester on the bursary
assistance we provide.
WINCHESTER COLLEGE
the initiative to constitute the group in 2009, since
when we have held annually a week-long symposium
for two senior students from each school, together
with the Head and a teacher, who after nine months’
preparation on a specified topic (in 2010 it was
The Financial Crisis, in 2011 Health Care) gather
together, with the help of distinguished world-class
experts, to discuss and write about the national
perspectives which the various parties have to bring
to the meeting. Symposium 2010 was held in
Winchester, Symposium 2011 in Nashville; the 2012
meeting was held in Singapore, where the subject
was Leadership. Most projects of this kind are carried
out on a large-scale conference model, but we have
chosen a model which entails more intense on-going
commitment among the member schools that over
time, we believe, will yield international leaders
whose association began with the Symposium.
After three years the participating students
(who by the nature of the Symposium get to know
each other well, before and after, through social
websites by which they continue their discussion)
are sixty in number; after thirty years there will
be six hundred members of the Winchester
International Symposium, many of them in
positions of international leadership. Readers may
wish to learn more at www.winchestercollege.org/
international-links.
So extensive has our Looking Outwards become,
that we have appointed a Director of External Affairs
to co-ordinate all aspects of the School’s outreach,
local, national and international. Tim Parkinson
(formerly our Head of Economics) has been the
School’s representative in Hong Kong and the Asian
region since 2008; he returned to live in Winchester
in January 2012 to administer the complex profile
of Winchester’s place in the world.

“ In the year to 31 August 2011
scholarships, bursaries and
other awards were given to
192 pupils and totalled
£1,621,000 (2010: 191 pupils;
£1,542,000). This represents
nearly 8% of gross fee income,
with most of the funding derived
from the College’s trusts and
endowments.”
Income
Total income for the year was £24,348,000,
an increase of 6.5% on the previous year. Within this,
gross fee income increased by 5.3% to £20,327,000.
Fees were put up by 4.6% and the average number of
pupils in the year rose from 669 to 678 in line with the
Warden and Fellows’ aim to increase pupil numbers
to 690. In the first term of the 2011/2012 academic
year there were 691 pupils on the School Roll.
In addition to fees, the College generates income
through trading, investments and fundraising.
Investment income increased from £1,383,000
to £1,498,000. Within this, rental income from the
College’s agricultural estates increased primarily as
a result of a successful round of rent reviews in the
wake of strong agricultural markets, and income
from the fees-in-advance scheme increased, reflecting
the continued growth in popularity of the scheme.
Interest receivable also increased from £115,000
to £182,000; while base rate remained unchanged,
the College took advantage of more favourable
opportunities in the fixed deposit markets to
improve income.
Grants and donations received totalled
£2,234,000 (2010: £1,675,000); of this £1,306,000
(58%) represented new capital to be added to
the endowment and a further £117,000 (5%) was
received to be spent immediately in support of
current expenditure on the three key elements
of the College’s charitable activities: provision of
bursaries, maintenance of the Quirister choral
foundation and the preservation of the College’s
ancient buildings. This continued growth in
development income is most encouraging and
reflects positively on the significant time and
resources the College has put into its fundraising
efforts through its Wykeham Campaign.
Although both the College’s subsidiaries traded
profitably in the year, the net contribution from the
group’s trading activities declined slightly from
£231,000 to £225,000. Cornflowers gift shop found
conditions difficult, reflecting the general slowdown
and lack of confidence in the wider economy.
Both turnover and profitability suffered and as a
consequence, it was decided to close the shop at
the end of December 2011 after the peak Christmas
trading season. However, the College has now entered
into a lease agreement with the former manager of
the shop and after a period of refurbishment the shop
has now re-opened independently of the College.

A Message
from the
Bursar
In its Report and Financial Statements for the
year ended 31 August 2011, which are summarised
on pages 34 and 35 of this report, the College
reported an operating surplus of £1,574,000,
a healthy increase over the previous year.
The College’s accounts are prepared in full
accordance with the financial reporting rules for
charities. However, the scope and complexity of the
College’s activities does not always sit comfortably
within these constraints and this single figure for
the surplus is not the clearest reflection of the actual
resources available to the College for its day-today activities. This is better expressed by making
adjustments to add back depreciation, a non-cash
item, (£1,806,000), to recognise the amounts the
College draws from its investments under its total
return approach (£742,000) and to set aside certain
donations that the rules require are recognised as
income but which cannot be spent on the College’s
general activities. The last would include donations
received for the endowment, which have to be
invested (£1,306,000), and those for restricted and
capital purposes, such as the new museum which is
discussed elsewhere in this report (c.£400,000). It is,
therefore, more realistic to argue that the resources
generated last year for the College’s general purposes
were nearer £2.4 million and this paid for capital
expenditure in the year of £2.56 million.

Expenditure
Total expenditure in the year was £22,774,000,
a 3.9% increase year on year. The College continued
its efforts to improve its teaching and boarding
facilities through its major building maintenance
and refurbishment programme and balanced this
with further measures to control its costs
and promote efficiency.
Teaching and Related Costs. £8,566,000 for the
year, £5,938,000 of which was the cost of employing
the teaching staff.
Accommodation and Welfare Costs. £3,486,000
for the year, relating mostly to the cost of running
the boarding houses and College premises costs.
Premises Costs. The College continued to spend
heavily on its programme to improve boarding
accommodation. Total expenditure before
depreciation was £5,001,000. A further £2,325,000
was spent on School buildings, including £1,736,000
for the refurbishment of Hawkins’. Kingsgate House
is due to be refurbished during 2012.
Support and Other Costs. £3,056,000 for the
year, relating to a range of support functions
including academic administration and the registry,
the bursary, development office, investment
management, audit and trading, legal and
professional fees and the costs of governance.
Grants and Awards. The Governing Body is
determined to maintain the Founder’s intention
to offer the best possible intellectual, and cultural
formation to boys who can best profit from it.
The Warden and Fellows continue to pursue a
two-fold strategy: to redirect awards out of existing
resources towards bursaries and to increase the
total value of awards available by building
the endowment.
Scholarships and prizes and most other similar
awards are awarded on the basis of merit and
educational ability; bursaries are determined on
the basis of need. From 2011, all funds awarded from
the endowment (whether to parents of Scholars or
Commoners) will be by way of a bursary.
In the year to 31 August 2011 scholarships,
bursaries and other awards were given to 192 pupils
and totalled £1,621,000 (2010: 191 pupils; £1,542,000).
This represents nearly 8% of gross fee income, with
most of the funding derived from the College’s trusts
and endowments. Fifty boys (2010: 51) received
means-tested bursaries worth £713,000 (2010:
£620,000), the equivalent of nearly 24 full fees.
In the current year (2011/12) 75 pupils are receiving
bursaries totalling over £1.3million, a significant
increase. Of the 75 awards already made, 39 are
existing recipients; a further eight are current
pupils who have not previously applied for a bursary.
There are 22 recipients who are new entrants into the
first year and a further six who are direct entries into
Sixth Book. Forty-eight out of 75 receive bursaries
worth in excess of 50% of the School fee.
Quiristers currently receive 40% remission of
fees at Pilgrims’ School (reduced from 50% in
September 2011) at an annual cost to the College
of £160,000, in addition to which a further £8,000
was given as bursarial support. A major fundraising
campaign to provide additional bursary support
for Quiristers is under way.

As guest editor, Old Wykehamist Damian Harper (I, 1977-1982)
appraises Winchester through five stories that testify to the School’s
status as one of the UK’s most progressive academic institutions
and outstanding centres of learning.
The academic culture of Winchester rewards
voracious minds with intellectual sustenance,
cultivating powers of reason that once stimulated,
insist on growth. The influence of this culture
comes to Wykehamical minds during a boy’s
most intellectually formative years, sowing seeds
that may instantly leaf into heightened scholarly
curiosity or, at the very least, ready themselves
for the moment to do so.
I was a late developer, both physically and
intellectually. I don’t recall my Winchester reports
with requisite clarity but they may have identified
‘an unrivalled capacity for day-dreaming and
flights of fancy’. This dreaminess naturally
resulted in an absence of focus, but it certainly
provided me with an appetite for the uncommon
and a taste for the unusual.
Of all my academic memories at Winchester,
my first contact with T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land
was an instant of intellectual voltage that has
illuminated my emotional and cognitive life ever
since. I was mentally brought to heel by this poem
in a moment of reorientation that remains with
me still. Language, and its effects, consequently
became rather an obsession. My seed had belatedly,
and unexpectedly, leafed.
Despite being suddenly bewitched by the
power of words, an inexplicable drift towards
Biology A-Level at the expense of English was
only corrected by the timely intervention of my
inspirational teacher, Tommy Cookson (eternal
thanks). Tommy called me in for a chat to remind
me briefly and succinctly that English was up my
street; ‘so do the right thing, drop Biology and
Bob’s your uncle’ (or words to that effect).
WINCHESTER COLLEGE
ANNUAL REPORT 2011
My compass failed to find a true sense of
direction until October 1991 and the start
of a four-year degree in modern and classical
Chinese at London’s School of Oriental and
African Studies (SOAS). The path to SOAS had
led from a three-year degree in History of Art
at Leeds University and a six-year career in
bookselling. A sudden fascination for China
had demanded attention (no proven ability in
foreign languages being a mere technicality)
and through my degree I found my wife,
my specialisation and my career.
After 15 years of working as a specialist,
writing guidebooks on China (Lonely Planet,
National Geographic) and working as a translator,
I occasionally lose sight of what drew me to the
country in the first place. This forgetfulness also
has its own reward, as I learn to see this surprising
country afresh, ceaselessly discovering new and
unusual things to write about. The blinding
ferocity of a snow storm on the slopes of Buddhist
Wutaishan last May perhaps, discerning faint
slogans from the Cultural Revolution on the walls
of Jiayuguan Fort, almost scoured to invisibility
by the Gobi winds, or becoming entranced by
the devotion of Tibetan pilgrims in southern
Gansu province.
The work is demanding, but constantly satisfying.
There are enormous distances, terrible deadlines
and difficult hotel staff to endure, but sandwiched in
between are eye-opening panoramas, some staggering
sunsets and mesmerizing images of a nation
undergoing a quite extraordinary transformation.
11
During August 2011 the School mounted
an exhibition of its collection of early bibles,
visited by over 3,000 people and timed to
coincide with the 400th anniversary of the
King James Bible (KJB). The Warden at
the time – John Harmar – was heavily
involved with the production of the KJB,
so Winchester can claim a legitimate link.
17th century church history specialist and
art critic for the Church Times, Dr Nicholas
Cranfield, was impressed by the exhibition.
Dr Cranfield was thrilled to find that
‘Winchester has the largest single private collection
of bibles in the country. To discover that the
collection did not just include bibles since the
foundation of the College itself, but also historically
assembled material from much earlier, makes it a
great treasure.’
The recent acquisition of the 1611 Bible on
display at the exhibition was an important addition.
‘Acquiring the Powderham Bible is a tremendous
gesture and obviously very generous on the part
of those who raised the funds for it. It’s also a
fantastic opportunity to ensure that the library
at Winchester is comprehensive’, he says.
Remarking on the condition of the Bible –
a ‘She’ Bible – he is unequivocal: ‘It is a superb
copy, not least because, very sadly, quite a few have
lost both their original binding and two engraved
frontispieces. Many have vanished over the
centuries; others are sold off page by page.
The one at Winchester is, however, absolutely
stunning. Rather than coming from a parish
church where it may well have been mishandled,
I suspect it stayed in a private chapel.’
The KJB is, of course, celebrated for its rich
language. ‘The exhibition at Winchester – as well
as exhibitions at Oxford, Cambridge and Lambeth
Palace – showed that this book has become an
enduring monument, partly because of its inflected
language. It is a tremendous document for revealing
how English really becomes a literary language in
its own right.’
12
“ The exhibition displayed a number of bibles
from an earlier period and was therefore
able to display the sequence and the lineage.
The Great Bible of Henry VIII, owned by
the niece of Reginald Pole (the last Catholic
Archbishop of Canterbury), is in itself an
extraordinary document.”

languages including

Dr Cranfield is fascinated by the
genesis of the KJB and how its text
resonates with the English of earlier
translations. It is these progenitors
of the Bible, and their contribution
to its language, that he finds alluring.
‘I think that many of these exhibitions
have shown – and Winchester’s
exhibition was able to show more
comprehensively – what the
prehistory has been, before 1611,’ he
says. ‘That is exciting. The exhibition
displayed a number of bibles from
an earlier period and was therefore
able to display the sequence and the
lineage.’ Continuing on this theme,
he explains that the exhibition
included ‘the Great Bible of Henry
VIII, owned by the niece of Reginald
Pole (the last Catholic Archbishop
of Canterbury). That in itself is an
extraordinary document.’
Elaborating further on the
importance of early translations,
he adds: ‘Prior to 1611, bibles in
14
churches included the Great Bible
and the Bishop’s Bible of 1568 from
Elizabeth I (which similarly had
royal imprimatur) and it’s the text
of the Bishop’s Bible that is the kind
of textus receptus that bishops and
other KJB scholars worked on from
1604-1611. That is the text they
drew from.’
The working method of the KJB
translators ‘was to go through an
existing text, an English version,
which derived ultimately from
the English scholar and translator
William Tyndale, so there is a good
argument for saying that Tyndale’s
English is very much in there.’
On the onerous task of the early
17th century translators, he says:
‘Of the 54 scholars invited, all bar
one were ordained. John Harmar
was a Greek scholar, had been Regius
Professor when at Oxford and had
produced his own edition of six
of the letters of John Chrysostom.

One of the main charitable
objectives of Winchester is
‘The preservation of the ancient
buildings with their contents for
the public benefit.’
The scholars had a wide degree of
knowledge both in Hebrew and in
Greek obviously. Lancelot Andrewes,
himself a later Bishop of Winchester,
who knew seventeen different
languages including Arabic, Aramaic
and Chaldean, was among them.’
The 17th century political writer
and humanist, John Shelden, recalls
‘how the scholars would sit around
tables, reading aloud to each other as
they wanted to hear how it sounded.
The authorised version was never
really intended for reading but to be
read out loud, encouraging people
to learn by heart from hearing it
in church.’
Celebrating the involvement of
Winchester in the KJB, Dr Cranfield
concludes: ‘The exhibition included
more recent translations and works
on translations, particularly done
by Winchester men such as Richard
Mant and Sir Godfrey Driver, and
that was an interesting part of the 7
exhibition. The School also wanted
to highlight the contributions of two
successive Wardens, Thomas Bilson,
who went on to become a Bishop
of Winchester, and of course John
Harmar. They were both – among
the KJB translators – Wardens of the
College and noted biblical scholars,
so the exhibition could be centred on
both the collection of the library and
the history of the College. The two
men were central to the exhibition
and to the success of the 1611 project.’
maintaining the collections. The highly
successful King James Bible exhibition,
viewed by over 3000 people,
and the recent announcement that
‘The Annunciation’ by François
Lemoyne, Court Painter to Louis XV
of France, is now on short-term
loan to the National Gallery in
London, both highlight the
exceptional historical value
of the School’s collection.
The Muniment Room contains two
14th century chests purchased to provide
secure storage for College documents
and plate. The account roll complied by
Warden Morys between November 1396
and November 1397 includes reference
to a cost of £6.8s for binding in iron two
chests, which were purchased for the
Treasury, as the lower Muniment Room
was then called, iron for the windows and
seven locks and keys for the chests.

Until recently the inspirational
Head of Drama at Winchester,
Simon Taylor, has been a key driver
of the QEII Theatre over two decades.
Personifying the significance of
drama to the School, he reflects on
his achievements and the recent
donations from parents that provided
new seating for the theatre.
“ This is the physicality of a relationship,
friendship, suffering, passion and love
– whatever it may be. It’s an emotional
physicality. Drama is a very special
way of nurturing and easing people
through emotional growing up.”
Dramatic

WINCHESTER COLLEGE
ANNUAL REPORT 2011
Simon Taylor has been an energetic promoter
of drama at Winchester. He jokes that he still has
to fend off parents pointing the finger at the man
who diverted their son from a potentially lucrative
banking career to walking the boards or directing,
but this is an occupational hazard for such an
enthusiastic advocate of the dramatic arts. Partly
because drama is not on the Winchester curriculum,
‘the appetite for theatre is extraordinary compared
to other schools I know well.’
Recognising the generous donations from
parents for the QEII theatre’s new seating, Simon
admits he probably did not push hard enough for
greater investment in its ageing infrastructure,
but is very confident that drama flourished under
his watch. Extra height – the only way the theatre
can realistically expand within space-constrained
grounds – would allow larger sets to be ‘flown’
in, while other innovations would help. But he
also has an expert’s wariness of state-of-the-art
theatres where drama may become secondary to
the gloss of big production values. Simon invokes
the aromas of the QEII theatre, identifying a mix of
sweat, make-up and scorched dust from the lights.
Brand new theatres ‘won’t make good productions.
What makes good productions is work on text and
movement and the relationship between director
and his cast and the whole spirit and ethos of
what he is doing.’

Simon Taylor
❃ DRAMATIC INNOVATIONS
When he arrived there were only
three productions annually at the
QEII; this now stands at 12.
Simon conceived the First Year
House Drama Festival, now in
its 18th year, where first year boys
produce and act in plays directed by
lower sixth formers. With around
half of the half-hour plays self-written
and all of them self-produced, it’s a
steep learning curve ascended
with relish by virtually all boys.
This festival was perhaps his
‘biggest risk-taking innovation’
of all, by giving boys ‘responsibility
and initiative, independence and
freedom to do wonderful things …
and make mistakes.’

“I cannot think of a single Wykehamist who has
failed to get the grades and the place at the university
of his choice because he has been a prolific actor.
Far from undermining their academic prospects,
being in these plays enhances their confidence,
which rubs off positively on their studies.”

What Simon
found different about
Winchester, compared
to other schools, was the
desire to direct. Simon actively
encouraged this ‘extraordinary’
achievement which has
led to around seven
professional directors
in his 21 years.
Simon recounts several highpoints
during his Winchester career.
A production of King Lear was
energised by a ‘great intensity of
bonding between friends’ in the cast,
prompting a clearly-moved Tommy
Cookson to come backstage after
the final show and ‘walk around in
a sort of trance’, thanking the actors.
One flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest was
simply ‘an amazing play’. Death of
a Salesman was another triumph
in which Simon witnessed real-life,
and often painful, emotions finding
expression. The tender demonstration
of loss in one young actor mourning
the actual death of his father during
the rehearsal of the requiem scene of
Arthur Miller’s play was unforgettable.
Twelve Angry Men also staged
a very strong cast that moved Ben
Wright, from the National Opera
and Drama Association (NODA),
to tears. A month later the production
won the National Opera and Drama
Association Best Youth Production
Award (1997) for the entire south
of England.
Another achievement was
the formation of the Winchester
Players, a company of amateur
and professional actors, including
Wykehamists, which performs in
the Warden’s Garden and down at
the Minack Theatre in Cornwall every
two or three years. The enthusiastic
former drama head has also taken
a School production, Our Country’s
Good, to New England on an
Easter tour.

Simon keenly articulates the
positive role theatre performs in his
young charges and receives lengthy
letters and emails from former pupils
that glow with appreciation, while a
long list of Winchester names has
entered the acting and directing
world. He has also witnessed the
powerfully cathartic effect of drama
on his talented thespians, especially
in a boarding school context where
emotions can be less visible. ‘Comedy
is harder than tragedy’ he notes,
adding that ‘adolescent boys thrive
on serious drama, drama that is
profoundly emotional and extremely
dramatic.’ Playwrights such as
Arthur Miller and Harold Pinter
are, consequently, popular choices.
‘The boys who are good at acting …
are so often those with a rich and
complex emotional life.’
Boys express themselves
emotionally and physically through
drama, he adds. ‘This is the physicality
of a relationship, friendship, suffering,
passion and love – whatever it may be.
It’s an emotional physicality. Drama
is a very special way of nurturing
and easing people through emotional
growing up.’
What Simon found different
about Winchester, compared to other
schools, was the desire to direct.
Simon actively encouraged this
‘extraordinary’ achievement which
has led to around seven professional
directors in his 21 years.
Simon concludes with reassuring
words for anxious parents: ‘I cannot
think of a single Wykehamist who
has failed to get the grades and the
place at the university of his choice
because he has been a prolific actor.
Far from undermining their academic
prospects, being in these plays
enhances their confidence, which
rubs off positively on their studies.’
QE11 Appeal – To renovate the
seating, making the space as flexible,
practical and as comfortable as
possible, was going to cost the School
£45,000. For a minimum of £200,
a donor could support the renovation
of a seat. In total the exact amount
was raised from 117 donors.
An invitation to submit proposals
for a donation board was given to
boys who study Design & Technology.
Under the guidance of Simon
Tarrant, the Head of Department,
Kevin Kim (D, 2006-11) and
Freddie Stourton (I, 2008- ) worked
together to produce a contemporary
donor board, which now takes pride
of place in the QE11 foyer.

From 1947 to 1974, around 300 talented
state school boys were eligible to attend
public schools, including Winchester,
via a unique government-sponsored
scheme named after the Scottish judge,
Lord Fleming. An exercise in social
mobility, the scheme – championed by
Winston Churchill – also took steps
to address the post-war ‘brain drain’.
A reunion of Old Wykehamist
Fleming Boys was held at Winchester
in March 2011. Charterhouse beak
John Troy (I, 1972-77), a Fleming Boy,
attended the reunion and reflects
on his time at Winchester.
“ I remember it being a really
pleasant occasion – the first one
of these reunions I have been
to and I’ve developed a bit
of a taste for it.”
A Fleming Boy
Looks Back
JOHN TROY
As an exercise in social engineering, the
Fleming Boys scheme aimed to provide a number
of intelligent boys from state schools with an elite
private school education, funded by their local
education authority. On paper it seems like an
ambitious task, both in theory and practice,
but how difficult was it for the Fleming Boys
to adapt to an exclusive private school
environment such as Winchester?
During his time in Hopper’s in the 1970s,
John Troy did not detect too great a difference
between himself and his peers. ‘Both my parents
taught. My father had been to private school,
my mother also taught and she’d been to the
North London Collegiate School before going
on to Oxford.’ His brother Nick joined him two
years later as a Fleming Boy in Hopper’s, his sister
went to Roedean on a scholarship, while his other
two brothers, Martin and Tom, also went to
Hopper’s, but as fee-paying pupils. John’s family
background was evidently academic and middleclass. ‘I would say that it’s always going to work most
easily with people whose parents feel they are not
out of place. That’s more or less where we fell.’

‘Boys who found it easiest were
those from the middle-classes who did
not find the private school atmosphere
uncomfortable.’ In contrast, John
refers to Wesley Kerr – the broadcaster
and journalist who went to Winchester
as a Fleming Boy from a working class,
foster-child background – as an
example of how the scheme could
deliver more radical results.
‘The remarkable thing is that Wesley
came from such an extraordinarily
different background, obviously loved
the place and made an enormous
amount of it. He went on to read
History at Trinity, Cambridge and
became a well-known journalist.’
John suggests, however, that Wesley’s
story was exceptional. ‘I am deeply
grateful to my parents for doing this,
but I think that middle-class parents
were aware of the scheme and what
was happening. Children from a
middle-class background are going
to find interviews more congenial.
22
There was preparation involved and
this, in a way, acted against the social
engineering which was the aim of
the scheme.’
‘For myself, there was not a great
deal of social mobility. I think that
as an exercise in social mobility,
if it was going to work, it was going to
have to be much bigger. Hertfordshire
only sent six (boys) per year, to Eton,
Winchester and Rugby. I think that
if you had 20 a year, then that would
have been significantly large enough
to change things.’ John also notes
that ‘if there’s going to be social
engineering, you’re going to have to
take people from a background where
their views of life are going to change
and they are going to be challenged.
But that is going to be a lot tougher
on the school.’
John supports the idea of a
similar system being reintroduced
but sees challenges in the way the
UK has changed since the 1970s.

It would be great
to get a scheme going
but you would have to be
extremely careful on
the pastoral side. It’s not
just a matter of the School
giving a bursary – it has
to make certain the
boys have self-worth
in a number
of ways.

7
The flaunting of wealth has become
the norm for boys in a way it wasn’t
30 to 40 years ago. ‘There wasn’t the
conspicuous consumption that goes
on now; I think it would be much
tougher to fit in from the un-moneyed
teaching background today. As fees
have gone up, this has narrowed the
group of people who can afford them
and I think that is a pity. I think it
would be great to get a scheme going
but you would have to be extremely
careful on the pastoral side. It’s not
just a matter of the School giving a
bursary – it has to make certain the
boys have self-worth in a number
of ways. You would have to give
them support as they are moving in –
I wasn’t given support but it was fine
for me, so Winchester would have
to be careful about it today.’
On the reunion this year, John
remarks: ‘I remember it being a really
pleasant occasion – the first one of
these reunions I have been to and
I’ve developed a bit of a taste for it.’
John remains very grateful for
the Fleming Boys scheme, enthusing:
‘I think we even had our blue bills
paid! I think I was unaware of that
at the time – if I’d known, I’d have
bought some decent Christmas
presents at Wells!’

Winchester College Society provides
grants to boys to encourage them,
whether individually or in a small
group, to take the initiative and complete
a worthwhile project during part of their
holidays. One such grant funded a
Community Service initiative enabling
boys to experience an activity they would
otherwise have been denied. Responsible
for the disadvantaged youngsters,
Hampshire County Council Participation
Officer Lee Culhane shares his views on
the field trip from the local community.
Examples of other grants awarded
during the year are given on page 27.
The summer camp was held at Ninham Farm
campsite, near Shanklin on the Isle of Wight,
which provided an excellent base for island
exploration. The boys were kept busy with activities
ranging from horse-riding to kayaking, hiking,
swimming and a boat trip to the Needles. For the
boys in care, the activity-packed trip was a rare and
memorable holiday beyond their usual experience;
for the Wykehamists, it was also an opportunity
to get to know and understand children in care.
Reflecting on his work and how the field
trip materialised, Lee says: ‘part of my role as a
participation officer for Hampshire County
Council on the strategy and commissioning team
is to work with children in care across the county,
to support children in care and ensure their voices
are heard in the services they receive. I also deal
with occasions like the Winchester residential trip.
If someone comes along indicating they would
like to work with children in care, then normally
it’s me who is going to identify the cohort who is
going to take part.’
Lee’s unwavering enthusiasm for the field
trip helped make the entire endeavour possible.
He says that the boys in care on the field trip were
all ‘vulnerable young people, though to varying
degrees. We decided to go with a younger age
group as we felt they draw more from this
particular experience. They were partly children
in care but also those who had been through
care proceedings but were not actually in care.’
24
“ The Wykehamists did a really
good job and by the end of the
week there was a much greater
understanding between the
two groups. I think when the
Wykehamists go to university
or their professional careers,
it will be of benefit to them.”

The Colombia trip – a grant enabled
six boys to work alongside young
musicians in Colombia. In Bogotá the
boys performed with Fundación Batuta,

and in Cartagena the boys performed
with the similarly-comprised Comfenalco
Youth Orchestra.

Accompanying the boys to the
Isle of Wight was Care Ambassador
Joe Sutton, who had himself been
through the care system and therefore
possessed indispensable experience.
Joe described the atmosphere of the
trip as being very laid back, without
the rules and boundaries that define
structured school trips, so it was
more of a holiday.
Lee says: ‘The boys in care were
really excited to go horse-riding
and kayaking. Some of them had never
even been out of Winchester, so the
actual opportunity to go was a real
bonus. There was genuine excitement
and they bonded as a group.
The experience was highly positive.’
The activities, such as horse-riding
and kayaking, immediately helped
the boys bond with each other.
26
Any anxieties they had were
traceable to parental worries,
but these evaporated as soon as
the boys jumped into the water.
He notes: ‘because parents were
anxious the children were nervous,
but as soon as they got there these
concerns disappeared. They were
in an alien environment, but one
that was quite nurturing.’
No apparent divide separated the
Wykehamists from the young boys
in care, but Joe was at hand to help
bring the two groups together
anyway. In fact, the boys appeared
to see the Wykehamists as buddies
or mentors, in an uncomplicated
fashion. ‘The boys just seemed to
accept that these lads were from
Winchester and that was that,’
says Lee.
Lee also stresses that the
Wykehamists had the chance to reflect
on stereotypes and preconceptions
of children in care. They were able to
talk to the boys and discover that they
had similar needs: to have fun, to be
liked and to be part of something.
‘The Wykehamists became more
open-minded as the week went on and
were able to develop this empathy for
the boys’. Understanding why these
children – from extremely deprived
backgrounds – behave the way they
do was rewarding and educational.
‘The Wykehamists did a really good
job and by the end of the week there
was a much greater understanding
between the two groups. I think when
the Wykehamists go to university or
their professional careers, it will be
of benefit to them’, Lee observes.
WINCHESTER COLLEGE
Joe concurs with this and notes that
the Wykehamists inspired the boys
in care by making them believe they
could get to university themselves and
aim for really good jobs, if they tried
hard enough and put their minds to it.
As the field trip was a success,
would Lee like to see a repeat?
‘It’s definitely something we would
like to do again. The Wykehamists
derived so much from it and it
is key that things like this allow
them to build up their awareness
through encountering people
they don’t normally come face
to face with. This helps to break
down stereotypes.’

US Wykehamist Dan Gordon
(E, 1968-69) played a major role in
masterminding the Global Education
Forum (GEF), held in April 2011.
His work in helping to establish the
forum is part of a legacy of interest
in Winchester that began with his
philanthropic father, Albert H. Gordon,
(Honorary Fellow) and is shared by
his elder brother, John (E, 1966-67).
“ Winchester was the only secondary
school I had encountered which truly
fostered a love of learning. The School
tried to instil a curiosity in its students
and an enjoyment of learning
irrespective of grade. It still does.”
A Global
Perspective
DAN
GORDON

Dan and John Gordon’s philanthropist father
desired to give both boys a ‘different experience’
in education. Albert (known as ‘Al’ by all) –
the long-lived businessman who rescued and
rebuilt US securities firm Kidder Peabody
after the stock market crash of 1929 – was deeply
enamoured of Winchester. Dan says: ‘My father
adored Winchester. He loved the education,
the grounds and the people. Everything.’
Dan identifies the beauty of Winchester
as the ‘bait on the hook for a remarkable man’.
His father ‘was truly original. There was never
anyone remotely like him. But on top of that,
he was always trying to learn and to develop
himself, even when he was over 100. He also
became an extremely thoughtful person,
trying to be of assistance to virtually everyone
he met. Extending his presence at Winchester
has certainly been an impetus for me to stay
involved with the School.’
Musing on his time at Winchester, Dan recalls
an ‘uneven’ experience, but adds that ‘it was the
only secondary school I had encountered which
truly fostered a love of learning. The School tried
to instil a curiosity in its students and an enjoyment
of learning irrespective of grade. It still does.’
Dan also discovered the School promoted
a sense of independence and individuality
where other schools opted for conformity and
standardisation. ‘Independence, eccentricity
even, was allowed to flourish,’ Dan recalls.

Dan’s brother John similarly
enthuses: ‘My year at Winchester was
the single most important year of my
academic life in all of sixteen years
through to law school and business
school. And I am hugely grateful
to Dad. There is no question he
derived tremendous gratification
from his association with Winchester.
He felt he received much more than
he gave and Winchester treated
him with extraordinary courtesy
and consideration.’
Al cherished contact with
Winchester and became a generous
benefactor to the School. A plaque
in Cloisters commemorates his

ties, a compromise was eventually
reached. Al could buy the ties, but he
could never wear them on British soil!

sees as ‘an advocate for sport at
the College.’
Al’s fascination with human

personal relationships also fostered
a programme in which one or two
graduate students from the University
of Pennsylvania teach or coach for
a full academic year at Winchester,
where they are now known as

The Global Education Forum
– ‘done by the seat of our pants,’
Dan confides – was inspired by
this exchange programme. The aim
was to see how schools encourage
students to develop a sense of
themselves as citizens of the world
through curriculum development,
student exchanges, study abroad
opportunities, service learning
projects and further initiatives.
Hosted by the Center for the
Study of Boys’ and Girls’ Lives and
the AFWC at the Graduate School
of Education of the University of
Pennsylvania, the Global Education
Forum was held in April 2011,
bringing together ‘some of the
finest minds in the world of Global
Education.’ Consisting of lectures,
facilitated working groups
ANNUAL REPORT 2011
overseen by Winchester Junior
Fellows, and discussions, the forum
examined the objectives of schools
providing students with global
education programmes on how
schools can cultivate global awareness.
There was a fantastic response
from schools. The involvement of
the AFWC, the Winchester Junior
Fellows, Dan Gordon and the
presence of the Headmaster, Dr Ralph
Townsend, at the GEF helped magnify
the presence of Winchester in the US.
The GEF aims to incorporate greater
student involvement and a larger
body of international schools to
increase diversity at the next forum
– planned for early 2013 – while
attempting to preserve its personal
and intimate nature.

“ We want to attract bright boys who can benefit from
the College’s approach to education. This means both
providing value to those families who have a choice of
schools, and assisting those whose financial constraints
would put a Winchester education beyond them,
through bursaries.”
Charles Sinclair (B, 1961-66)
The Finance Committee has
responsibility, delegated from the
Governing Body, for the financial
well-being of the College. In practice
this means working closely with the
Headmaster, the Bursar and their
colleagues to manage the viability of
the College in the short term, and also
to control well into the future the flow
of income (principally school fees)
and expenditure (both current
expenses and maintenance and the
capital spend which keeps up and
improves the fabric of the College).
Unsurprisingly, this is something of
a balancing act, with the sustainability
of the Founder’s vision at its core.
We want to attract bright boys
who can benefit from the College’s
approach to education. This means
both providing value to those families
who have a choice of schools, and
assisting through bursaries those
whose financial constraints would put
a Winchester education beyond them.
It means attracting and retaining
in the right numbers the talented
teaching and support staff that make
this education possible.
It means providing accommodation
which need not be luxurious, but must
not be an obstacle to effective study.
32
64.1%

It means maintaining ancient
(and modern) buildings and grounds
which have provided an inspirational
setting for intellectual and athletic
endeavour for past generations, and
which are more than ever needed
for our future.
It means finding the resources for
a continuing proud musical tradition,
to which the Quiristers make a unique
contribution, and for a technology base
both for pure educational purposes
and the efficient running of the
College as a whole.
These balances could not be
managed without a first-class executive
staff and a combination of Committees
which provide an effective managing
and control network. The Investment
Committee, a sub-committee of the
Finance Committee, has oversight
of the investment portfolio, and the
agricultural and residential estates.
The Audit and Risk Committee
provides an independent view to
the Governing Body on the financial
reports of the College, and of the
risks inherent in the College’s
operations including its finances.
The Development Committee is
responsible for sustaining and
enhancing the flow of donations
which both bridge current shortfalls
and help to build the long-term real
value of the endowment. The Works
Committee oversees the daily challenge
of the necessary maintenance and
enhancement of the fabric of the
College, yet with limited resources.
The Disbursements Committee
ensures that donations are properly
and efficiently spent in accordance
with donors’ wishes, and so enables
the College to report back properly.
As to the Finance Committee
itself, Robin Fox retired as its
Chairman in June 2011, after a
most distinguished 15 years as Fellow,
and as Sub-Warden. His involvement
in the College’s affairs was so extensive
that his Chairmanship of the
Finance Committee seemed effortless
and so all the more daunting to
me as his successor, with less than
a year’s experience as a Fellow.
My appointment was made possible
by the strength and experience of
the three continuing Committee
members: Robert Sutton, formerly
senior partner of Macfarlanes;
Robert Woods, a seasoned managing
director from the maritime world;
and Mark Loveday, formerly senior
partner of Cazenove.
WINCHESTER COLLEGE
No report on finances would
be complete without some figures,
which are encouraging on the one
hand, but require new and significant
progress on the other.
Current financial performance
is encouraging in that the surplus
(‘net incoming resources’) in charity
accounts for the year to 31 August
2011 was £1,574,000, a good
improvement on the prior year
surplus of £947,000.
School fees made up most of our
income, but did not cover educational
expenses. It was investment income,
grants and donations that largely
met this shortfall and created the
overall surplus.
The income from the College’s
property investments and investment
portfolio does not of itself provide
sufficient income to cover current
shortfall. Yet it remains fundamental
that sufficient investment income
should be retained to contribute
to long-term real growth in the
investment assets.
Whilst we are not, as a charity,
profit driven, we must manage our
income so as to cover our aspirations
for both the bursary programme and
our maintenance and project needs.
This is where the activities of
the Development Committee and
the Development Executive become
crucial, because, as we stand,
the College’s finances are perhaps
too finely balanced.
ANNUAL REPORT 2011
Our project load, including
the modernisation of New Hall,
the development of two existing
properties for investment or College
use, and the next round of Commoner
house refurbishments, has brought
into sharp focus the need for deeper
financial capacity. With our current
resources, near-term needs can be
met, and projects financed. In the
medium-term, our bursary
aspirations and campus development
will not be financeable without a
growing donor and donations base.
Only that way will we be able to
balance the demand for expendable
income with real growth of our
asset base over time, and the
competing needs of current and
future beneficiaries of the College.

To balance current and future needs,
the College aims to:

•
maintain (at least) the value of the
investments in real terms;
produce a consistent and sustainable amount to support current expenditure; and
deliver these first two objectives
within acceptable levels of risk.
At 31 August 2011 the total value of
the College’s long-term investments was
£63,481,000. The total return for the
year across all these investments was
+20%. They generated investment
income of £1,371,000 and a further
£742,000 was withdrawn from
capital under the College’s total return
investment approach.

The broad outreach to donors
The growth in donations and pledges
in the year under review is particularly
encouraging in that it represents the
fourth successive year of increases,
against a backdrop of profound disquiet
in the financial markets, and the
annual level of giving has more than
doubled over that period. Although the
Campaign has not yet been formally
launched, this momentum provides us
with a wonderful basis for its lift-off.
The Development Team, led by Lorna
Stoddart, David Fellowes and Tamara
Templer, has worked exceptionally hard
over the past few years to connect to the
College – or in some cases, reconnect –
potential donors, particularly
alumni and parents.
In the UK, there have been a
large number of events catering for
various year groups, geographical
locations and/or interest groups.
Present parents organised their own
summer party in Meads, which raised
more than £35,000. We also held a
large gathering for Wykehamists in
City-based professions, at which it was
agreed to promote the idea of ‘guilds’
to connect OWs in various City
and other professions, with a view to
better networking, increased career
development opportunities for young
Wykehamists and also a possible
platform for donations.
In addition, the Wykeham Patrons
group (for regular donors at a certain
level, see page 41), has attracted
42 members, who have enjoyed
experiences as diverse as a trip to
Rome in 2010, a trip to Gallipoli in
2011, and a private viewing of the
Bible Exhibition last September.
Overseas, there has been a significant
effort to build on the solid foundations
laid down by the American Friends
of Winchester College, with meetings
during the year on both the East and
West coasts. Asia has also been the
primary focus of activity during the
year under review with several visits
to Hong Kong, as well as meetings
in Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City.
This overseas activity is responsible for
a significant element of the increased
level of donations and pledges.

Don Associate
Last, but certainly not least, we are
immensely grateful to a few donors
who have been outstandingly generous
with donations or pledges. During the
year, we received four gifts and pledges
each with a value of £250,000 or more.
The key feature of all these
initiatives is the desire to forge better
and deeper relationships with those
who are connected with the College.
This is a worthwhile goal in its
own right and crucial to running a
successful Campaign.
Governance
The Campaign strategy is set by
the Development Committee of the
Governing Body, whose Chairman,
Robert Woods, wrote this introduction
in last year’s report. As well as Fellows,
the Development Committee also
includes representatives from the
Senior Management Committee
and the Development Team, and is
attended by donor representatives.
This is an important body for making
policy and guiding the development
effort. The whole development effort,
driven by the Development Team,
has generated good growth and
positive momentum. I would like to
thank them all for their efforts – and
particularly those of you who have
donated. Every gift, however large
or small, makes a big difference.
If you have not yet joined in,
please feel encouraged to do so!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
DONATIONS AND LEGACIES
To all our donors and legators,
we continue greatly to appreciate the
faith you have in the School and all
that it stands for, as demonstrated
by your support. Thank you.
You only have to study the graphs
shown in the headings on the ensuing
pages to appreciate the considerable
and growing level of support that the
School has been continuing to attract
over the past five years, coming from
all corners of the Wykehamical family.
It has been particularly gratifying to
note that so many parents, both past
and present, should have felt suitably
inspired to contribute so generously
in addition to paying the School’s fees,
and often to enable other sons less
fortunate than their own to benefit
from the unique education that
Winchester has to offer.
The Chairman of the Goddard
Legacy Society, Robin Fox
(A, 1950-55) joins us in encouraging
those of you interested in leaving a
legacy to Winchester to get in touch
with the Development Team, should
you wish to discuss any aspect of the
process. Whether you have left the
School a legacy, or are planning to
do so, we do hope that you will let
us know so that we are able to thank
you for your pledge. We’d also like
to invite you to join us at our two
special Goddard events each year.
Don’t forget, this process can be
easy and inexpensive to achieve,
tax efficient in the longer term,
and even fun from day one!
