72 % was the average bursary award per pupil ( 2023 )
That analysis helped start the school ’ s move away from meat . As Oscar ’ s Climate Soup blog recorded in March 2023 : ‘ Some Houses are already eating less meat . Most notably , Hopper ’ s had 20-25 pupils go vegetarian for a week ( and the vast majority stuck with it !). Two Houses are implementing plans to have two house-wide vegetarian meals per week ( one lunch , one tea ) based on what current vegetarian pupils enjoy most and on the trial in Hopper ’ s . As I was writing this , I heard that Kenny ’ s has also got 25 people signed up for a week of vegetarian meals ! College is going ahead with the trial as well , and staff have been asked to join in when they eat at College lunches . It is great to see pupil-led actions like this , which can , where Matrons and Housemasters are on board , make a real change . Oscar thinks that the school could do better in making people more aware of initiatives in sustainability .
The school has contributed to the training of a potential leader belonging to an environmentallyaware and understandably impatient younger generation .
Needless to say , Oscar wants to have ‘ that kind of impact ’ somewhere in the issue of climate change . The school has contributed to the training of a potential leader belonging to an environmentallyaware and understandably impatient younger generation . Winchester ’ s role has been to equip him to think for himself and to develop his independent curiosity . Coming to Winchester , he says , was ‘ life-changing ’. I can easily imagine that we may one day hear of Oscar making the impact of which he dreams .
