Visiting Win Coll Escorted Access Only
We welcome Old Wykehamists on a variety of occasions throughout the year . But even OWs will need to be escorted while pupils or other children are in residence . If you want to visit your old school other than for an organised event , we ask you to observe the following :
• Give Win Coll Soc as much notice as possible if you expect to visit . A week or more is ideal . We have limited reserved places on guided tours ( twice daily ) if no guide or other escort is available .
• Visitor access is via the Porters ’ Lodge only .
• If you arrive at the Porters ’ Lodge unannounced , we will still try to accommodate your visit , but should nobody be available as an escort , and guided tours are full , you might be refused entry .
There have been very few instances in the last year when it has been impossible to arrange an escort but these have only been at weekends and always when notice was short . Visitors have universally appreciated being shown round by someone with current knowledge of the school .
When events take place in the College , please assist our security team by only using designated points of access and departure ( usually Porters ’ Lodge or Black Gate beside New Hall ). Thank you all for your support .
