| Mr & Mrs Seymour |
WHS extends a warm, family atmosphere to all within the community: pupils, teaching and non-teaching staff and parents. At the heart of the school lies its commitment to boarding life and we recognise that children will either board occasionally, weekly or full-time. There is no compulsion to board, but we believe that for both boys and girls, boarding helps create assurance and independence and the majority of children board before moving on to boarding senior schools. Each child is an individual and we are determined to meet his/her particular needs. We want all our children to feel safe and secure, so that they can begin to develop the confidence to enjoy the wealth of opportunities we provide. Part of our role is to create as many opportunities as we can for all children. We look to extend all pupils, inside and outside the classroom, and we encourage them to aspire. We reward achievement and endeavour and we encourage all pupils to take responsibility for themselves, for others and for their school. Throughout their time at WHS, we work with parents to build a relationship that will underpin each child’s development at the school. Traditional values and high standards, supported by a strong Christian ethos, are expected. We value virtues such as compassion, competition and resilience as much as we do examination grades and we aim to enable every pupil to benefit from a rounded education that will prepare them thoroughly for their next school and life beyond.
I hope you will be encouraged by what you see in these pages to contact us for a prospectus or, better still, to come and see the school in action. You will be sure of a warm welcome at Winchester House at Brackley, Northants, on the borders of Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire.
