The Collegiate Life Goes Digital:
Winchester College under Lock-down
On Wednesday, 18 th March, the pupils
were sent home. At the time of writing
it seems unlikely that they will return
physically for some time. As our second
article reveals, this is not unprecedented.
But the extent to which school life can
continue and even prosper through remote
channels is unparalleled.
Extracts from the Headmaster’s letters to
all in the school community:
Communities display their resilience
and strength at times of trial. I
have every confidence that the
Winchester community will rise to
this exceptional challenge.

All is beautiful at Winchester as I
write, but eerily so. The roads are
silent, the grass grows; the daffodils,
the tulips, the grape hyacinth and
the rare fritillaries effortlessly express
their intrinsic beauty, blushing largely
unseen on the early spring air.
