The Fabric of Winchester Since 1382
For some , sport involves the relentless pursuit of excellence . For others , it ’ s about having fun and an important way of forming friendships .
Whatever the individual motivation for taking part , sport and the social and physical benefits it brings have been woven into the very fabric of Winchester College since its foundation in 1382 .
You only have to step outside Flint Court to see one of the most beautiful cricket pitches in the country .
But as times change , the sports facilities required by a world-class school must change also .
“ At Winchester , we want every boy to achieve his full potential in every field . These impressive new facilities will ensure that all involved in sport , whether in the top teams or just playing for fun , can do just that .”
SIR RICHARD STAGG ( G , 1969-73 ; Warden 2019- )
