Winchester College Annual Report 2013
Welcome to the Annual Report
of Winchester College
In this year’s Annual Report our Guest Editor,
Ryan O’Keeffe (C, 1996-98), Partner at RLM Finsbury,
a global leader in strategic communications, reports on
a breadth of activities at the School that reflect our
charitable endeavours and scholarly achievements.
T
his Report celebrates another successful year for Winchester.
Four of this year’s five stories demonstrate the wide-ranging activities
and involvement of Wykehamists, whether young or old, both at
home and abroad, whilst the fifth story, ‘War Cloister’, helps us all to reflect
in this, the first of five centenary years, on the immense contribution made
by so many Wykehamists and others in the First World War.
An Old Wykehamist recently volunteered his view on why he felt proud
of what the School had to offer its pupils. He wrote: ‘Winchester appears still
to be providing a uniquely broad education which stimulates analysis, curiosity,
logic and learning; its approach also encourages Wykehamists to make
contributions of value in the course of their careers.’ All five stories serve
to illustrate this statement, which in itself perhaps encapsulates the themes
of excellent teaching and the development of the mind, together with the
encouragement of a humanistic approach which is tolerant and contributory.
This Report aims to provide you with a further insight into the School’s
activities and also its finances and their dynamics. There still remains much
to be done and Winchester welcomes interest from all-comers in what it
seeks to achieve, and commitment and contribution from all those who
may wish to support it in achieving its aims.
Winchester College Annual Report 2013 1
A message from the Warden
Sir David Clementi (E, 1962-67)
I
am pleased to report that 2013 has
been another good year. The School
is full, registrations remain strong with
significant competition for House places,
and our academic standing remains high.
The quality of the music, art and drama
is excellent; and the breadth of the sporting
activities available to the boys is immense,
with many teams achieving significant success.
Amidst all the activity up to books, up to House,
and the many activities in-between, the Governing
Body seeks to stay close to its charitable objectives.
Our links with the primary schools in the Lambeth
LEA and our Academy partner Midhurst Rother
were covered in last year’s Report, but it is important
to note that Midhurst Rother has continued its
progress, and last year received an Ofsted report of
‘Outstanding’, an immense achievement given that
it was in Special Measures in 2007.
Just as Winchester continues to flourish, I am happy
to report that the School’s finances are in good
health. Included in this Annual Report is a report
from Charles Sinclair, who chairs the Governing
Body’s Finance Committee, together with a summary
statement of our Financial Accounts. One of the key
factors which allows us to report a sound financial
2 Winchester College Annual Report 2013
position is the generosity of many Old Wykehamists,
supporters and parents who have contributed
significantly to a number of Wykehamical causes,
most particularly our ambition to increase our ability
to provide bursarial support where it is appropriate.
Our capacity in this area has continued to grow and
currently, from our total School number of 680,
we are supporting 82 pupils with bursaries costing the
School nearly £1.7 million. Of this number 52 are
receiving bursaries in excess of 50% of the school fees.
We are supporting 82 pupils with

£1.7 million. Of this number

In addition to the generosity of our many supporters
through our bursarial campaign and through the
growing Goddard Legacy Society, I like to think
the School has been helping itself, through proper
management of its Endowment Funds, the management
of which is overseen by our Investment Committee,
chaired by Mark Loveday. Our funds have grown well
Sir David Clementi (E, 1962-67) Warden
over the last few years and I am hopeful that at some
point we will get a further significant boost from our
interest in Barton Farm. For those who don’t know,
Barton Farm is a farm of some 300 acres north of
Winchester. It was sold many years ago to CALA,
a property company, but on the basis that the School
retained a material economic interest in the application
CALA then made for planning permission for the site.
After many years of going backwards and forwards,
outline planning consent was eventually obtained
in 2012, and an application has now been made for
detailed planning consent. There still remains a large
number of uncertainties, as regards both any monies
we might receive and the time over which we might
receive them. I refer to it here because our economic
interest in Barton Farm is owned in our Endowment;
and if significant proceeds do come through, they will
remain in the Endowment and allow us to take another
important step in building up our funds for bursaries.
This drive to increase our bursarial funds is partly
about the number of bursaries we are able to award;
it is also about the level at which we are able to start
providing assistance. We want to attract boys whose
families come from backgrounds such as medicine,
teaching and the civil service, where our fees are
difficult to meet out of earned income for a single
child, let alone for parents with more than one child.
It is far too early to start to talk about a needs-blind
One of the key factors which allows us
to report a sound financial position is the
generosity of many Old Wykehamists,
supporters and parents who have
contributed significantly to a number
of Wykehamical causes.
entry policy for Winchester, but this is undoubtedly
the direction in which the Governing Body and the
Common Room wish to travel; and it is a direction
of which I have no doubt our Founder would have
thoroughly approved.
I hope you will find this Report interesting.
In addition to a significant amount of financial
information, it contains an interview with Freeman
Dyson, one of our most eminent academics of the
last 50 years, and with Jon Wright, one of our most
successful entrepreneurs, a spread of skills that reminds
us that it is dangerous to pigeonhole Wykehamists.
This Report also provides me with the opportunity
to thank the many people, those who work within
the School and those who contribute from outside,
for their support in making Winchester the vibrant
community that it is.
Winchester College Annual Report 2013 3
We are in a good place
Dr Ralph Townsend, Headmaster
A
lot has changed in schools and
education over the past forty years.
Back in 1975, when I began my
teaching career, only about 20% of children
nationally stayed at school for the Sixth Form,
only 5% of school leavers went to university –
and they were predominantly boys. Oxbridge
was dominated by independent and grammar
school graduates. There were closed awards
to Oxbridge (Winchester-New College,
Westminster-Christ Church, Eton-King’s).
A-levels were a two-year course without
coursework, perhaps favouring boys.
The late seventies and the eighties brought change.
The numbers of Wykehamists winning places at
Oxford and Cambridge dropped from around 70%,
which was generally reckoned to be disproportionately
high, to around half that. Simultaneously the number
going to other universities increased, overtaking the
Oxford and Cambridge total for the first time in
1979. O-levels were abolished to be replaced by the
GCSE, and over the next twenty years A-levels were
repeatedly revised to include a broader curriculum,
a greater coursework component and ultimately
a reduction in content and rigour.
4 Winchester College Annual Report 2013
In 2013 the great majority of children nationally
remain at school for the Sixth Form. There are now
more girls than boys at top universities. Government
access policies have reduced the number of independent
school leavers at Oxbridge. A-level and AS reforms
since 2000 have given special weight to the learning
and examination preferences of girls. Closed awards at
Oxbridge have long since been abolished. The number
of co-educational boarding schools has increased,
leaving only five boys’ full-boarding schools. The rise
of league tables has narrowed the public judgement of
schools but has increased the importance of ‘academic’
delivery among schools which previously celebrated
other aspects of education, such as sport and characterbuilding. All Wykehamists go on to higher education;
about twelve go to US universities each year. While
statistics compiled since 1996 indicate that there has
been little change in the quality of elections into
College, the academic quality in the Commoner
Houses has improved, resulting in a narrowing of
the academic gap between College and Houses and
an enhancement of academic consistency across
the School.
In the last decade Winchester has, like many schools
of its type, become much more outward-looking
and aware of its presence on the international stage.
Winchester International Symposium (10 schools)
is now secure in its fifth year. Our partnership with

the High School Affiliated to Fudan University in
Shanghai has matured into a new collaboration with
the World Leading Schools Association whereby
Winchester, in association with Eton, Montgomery
Bell Academy USA and the High School Affiliated
to Xian Jiaotong University in China, will supervise,
examine and validate a diploma course designed to
prepare Chinese students for university entrance in
the UK and the USA. In 2014 two schools (Fudan and
Beijing No 8) will enrol one hundred students each in
this programme. Winchester European Symposium
now numbers five continental schools including Italy
and Romania. There are annual Modern Languages
department visits for two weeks from pupils in partner
schools in France, Germany & Spain. Two seventeenyear-old boys from Johannes Kepler Grammar School
in Prague spend Common Time with us, four pupils
from Fudan come to Winchester for the month of
February, four from Colegio Claustro Moderno
in Bogota for the month of March and three from
Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville USA for
the month of June. A new link with Germantown
Friends’ School in Philadelphia has recently been
forged. Chapel Choir undertakes regular tours of
European centres. Elsewhere in this report is an article
about the recent building project undertaken by
Wykehamists in Ladakh; such charity projects have
in recent years become a feature of outward-looking
and outward-bound Winchester.
We have become more connected into the local scene
too. Our academy partnership with Midhurst Rother
College in West Sussex is now well-known to our
readers. So too is our partnership with the Crown
& Manor Club. Our access and outreach programme
includes work with primary schools in Lambeth.
And at home our Community Service programme
includes half-a-dozen after-school clubs for children
in local primary schools.
So what makes Winchester stand out in the judgement
of parents who choose us over other schools? Our
personalised admissions process; our ability to attract
Dr Ralph Townsend Headmaster
academic teachers of high calibre; the conspicuously
intellectual tone of the School; Division as our unique
intellectual base; the still-strong House system,
including the preservation of eating in Houses; the high
quality of our pastoral care; our fair, clear and effective
system of discipline respected by parents and boys alike;
outstanding music; very good sport; a well-organised
rich programme of extra-curricular opportunities;
the beauty and tranquillity of our setting and buildings,
well-maintained but unostentatious.
We have demonstrated educational leadership in
recent years. The School Review carried out by the
Warden & Fellows in 2006 was thorough, bracing,
bold and self-critical. We pioneered the adoption
of the Cambridge IGCSE and Pre-U examinations
(in which we took a leading role in syllabus design)
in 2008. We came out of misleading league tables
(fashioned by journalists) in 2007 (followed by
such schools as St Paul’s and Eton).
And what gives us confidence that our future is
secure? Our ability to attract more than four times
the number of boys we can admit; our ability to
attract parents who understand and value what we
offer; our increasing bursarial capacity; in sympathy
with the signs of the times, our cultivation of an ethos
in which money and social celebrity are of little or
no consequence; and not least, our exemplary codes
of governance and administration.
We are not complacent, but we are indeed in
a good place.

A message from the Bursar
Jeff Hynam, Bursar & Secretary to the Governing Body
T
he Report and Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 August 2013,
which are summarised on pages
34 and 35 of this report, show that the
College reported overall net incoming
resources of £2.789 million, a small
increase on the previous year.
The table to the right on this page shows where
this surplus came from.
School income from school fees and other charitable
activities contributed £967,000 before depreciation,
though this becomes a deficit of £984,000 once
depreciation of the School’s buildings and other
fixed assets is taken into account.
Income from trading, investments and fundraising
added another £1.935 million, net of related costs.
This brings net operating income up to £951,000.
In addition, there were donations of £1.838 million
to the Endowed Funds, bringing the total up to
the full £2.789 million.
This is an important reminder that fee income
alone is not sufficient to pay for the School’s primary
objectives: education, bursaries, Quiristers and
ancient buildings.

Income
Income from the School’s investments and cash
deposits was 9% higher year on year. Investment
income from the School’s financial assets and property
investments remained largely unchanged and interest
receivable increased by £162,000 to £444,000 as a
result of more attractive rates available in the fi xed
deposit markets in the first half of the year.
The School and its subsidiaries have four separate
income streams and in the 2012/13 financial year
(excluding new money for the endowment) these
produced income totalling £25.440 million,
a 3.2% increase over the previous year.
The School’s core charitable activities produced by
far the largest part of that income. Gross fee income
grew by just over 4% to £22.504 million, from which
the cost of bursaries, scholarships and other awards
totalling £1.951 million is deducted. Fees were put
up by 4.3%, and the average number of pupils in
the year was 689, close to the target set by the
Governing Body of 690.
In addition to fees, the School generates income
through trading, investments and fundraising,
and these together produced income totalling
£3.723 million (£1.935 million net of related costs).
Income from trading fell by 2% but profitability was
higher. While the closure of the Cornflowers shop
part way through the previous year reduced turnover,
Winchester College Enterprises reported both higher
turnover and improved profitability. The School’s
investment in green technology also began to pay off.
2012/13 was another successful year for fundraising.
In total the amount raised in the year was £2.968
million; while not quite reaching the all-time high
of the previous year, this was most encouraging and
the School is extremely grateful to all donors.
Fundraising falls into two distinct categories.
First, donations to endowed funds totalled £1.838
million, including £805,000 for the bursary fund,
£463,000 to endow the new museum and £417,000
for the Wykeham Fund, which supports the School’s
charitable objectives through the three principal areas
of the provision of bursaries, the maintenance of the
Ancient Buildings and collections, and support for
the Quiristers. Although new endowment is treated
as income under charity accounting, in practice
this money has to be ring-fenced and invested,
and hence is not immediately available to support
the School’s activities.

Second, other fundraising income available for
immediate use amounted to £1.130 million,
including a further £199,000 towards the
construction of the new museum. The museum
is intended to provide our own pupils, pupils
from other colleges and educational establishments
and other scholars, as well as the local community
and the general public, with a first-class educational
environment in which to make available the
School’s collections for study and enjoyment.
Expenditure
Total expenditure in the year was £24.489 million,
a 3.4% increase year on year, as the School continued
to spend and invest in its academic and pastoral
priorities, whilst ensuring that costs remained
under firm control.
Expenditure on generating non-School income,
which includes trading, investment management and
fundraising costs, was particularly well controlled.
Teaching and Related Costs: £9.054 million for the year,
£7.545 million of which was the cost of employing
the teaching and academic support staff.
Accommodation and Welfare Costs: £3.897 million
for the year, relating mostly to the cost of running
the boarding houses and School.
8 Winchester College Annual Report 2013
Premises Costs: ignoring depreciation total expenditure
on maintaining the premises and grounds and
collections, including insurance, utilities, security
and cleaning was £5.765 million. The School
continued to spend heavily on its programme to
improve boarding accommodation. A total of £1.451
million was spent on capital projects including a further
£350,000 on the refurbishment of Kingsgate House,
and £700,000 initial costs on the New Hall project.
Support and Other Costs: £1.526 million was spent
on a range of support functions including academic
administration and the registry, the bursary,
governance and audit, and legal and professional fees,
whilst expenditure on other activities to generate
funds, such as trading, investment management,
financing and development, was £1.788 million.

In the year to 31 August 2013, 76 boys (2012: 77)
received means-tested bursaries worth £1.410 million
(2012: £1.311 million), the equivalent of over
43 full fees. Scholarships, and other awards totalling
£318,000, were given to a further 82 pupils (2012: 104;
£746,000). This represents over 8% of gross fee income.

Scholarships and prizes and most other similar awards
are awarded on the basis of merit and educational
ability; bursaries are determined on the basis of need.
All new awards made from the endowment since
2011 (whether to parents of Scholars or Commoners)
have been by way of a bursary.
In the current year (2013/14) 82 pupils are receiving
bursaries totalling nearly £1.67m, the equivalent of
over 49 full fees. Of the 82 awards already made,
62 are to existing recipients, and twenty are for new
entrants. Fifty-two out of 82 receive bursaries in
excess of 50% of the School fee.

Grants and Awards: The Governing Body is

offer the best possible intellectual, cultural formation
to boys who can best profit from it, and continues to
pursue a policy of redirecting awards out of existing
resources towards bursaries and increasing the total
value of awards available by building the endowment.

Quiristers currently receive 40% remission of fees
at Pilgrims’ School at an annual cost to the School of
£175,000 (2012: £178,000). This includes additional
bursary support of nearly £6,000 for specific pupils
as a result of means-testing. A fundraising campaign
to provide additional bursary and day-to-day
support for Quiristers has to date raised £970,000
(including pledges).
Future Capital Expenditure
The School aims to continue major expenditure on
boarding houses with a refurbishment of Morshead’s
in 2014. Plans are also well advanced for the conversion
of the Warden’s Stables to a museum, and initial plans
have been drawn up for the re-development of the
southern part of the campus to include the PE Centre
and associated sports facilities, Design Technology
centre, medical centre and Works Department.

There is a multi-faceted, cosmopolitan
quality to Winchester College, which
stands every young Wykehamist in
good stead to go out with confidence
into an increasingly globalised world.

10 Winchester College Annual Report 2013
Playing on the global stage
Ryan O’Keeffe (C, 1996-98)
Partner, RLM Finsbury
clearly recall the excitement I experienced
when, just before taking up my place at
Winchester College, I discovered the
real significance of what I was about to do.
I found an entry for ‘Wykehamist’ in an
encyclopaedia I was leafing through. As a
16-year-old South African, this struck me
powerfully. It made me feel that I was
about to step up onto the world stage.
I
Success relies upon an ability to engage on a wide
range of issues with people who have reached the
very pinnacle of their industry. We must challenge
them and we have to think creatively about how
to protect and enhance their reputations with the
financial markets, regulators, governments and
customers. Delivering this service, particularly to
such a culturally and geographically diverse client
base, requires flexibility, sound judgment, and the
confidence to think critically and to execute
with conviction.
There is a multi-faceted, cosmopolitan quality to
Winchester, which stands every young Wykehamist
in good stead to go out with confidence into an
increasingly globalised world. The five stories in
this Annual Report examine the perspectives,
achievements and recollections of several
Wykehamists ranging from a rocket scientist to
the man who made a fortune bottling and selling
fruit smoothies. Notwithstanding the enormous
breadth of their career paths or life interests,
there are several common characteristics running
through them all. The pursuit of excellence is one;
a contribution to a broader collective benefit is
another, while others include vision, thoughtfulness,
courage, the application of a rigorous intellectual
approach and natural curiosity.
When one considers these imperatives in the context
of Winchester’s wide-ranging curriculum, which
fosters an elevated love of learning and the courage
to challenge an idea, it is perhaps unsurprising that
there are several Wykehamists who have risen
to the top of the global communications industry.
The active and well-subscribed Old Wykehamist
Communications Guild is testament to that,
counting the co-founders of no less than three
of the City’s top communications firms in its number.
Many, if not all, of these qualities everyone strives
to exercise in their professional lives. As a strategic
communications adviser to the CEOs and boards of
directors of some of the world’s largest and highest
profile companies, I am certainly challenged to draw
upon these attributes on a daily basis. My clients
operate across a range of sectors, from oil and gas
to the music business, and while all have a global
presence, their corporate culture is heavily influenced
by nationality. In the case of my clients this includes
several from across Africa, North America and Europe.
In addition to considering how Winchester has
shaped me professionally, the process of guest-editing
this Annual Report has been a wonderful personal
journey of discovery and reflection. Charity has
always been a cornerstone of what Winchester stands
for, and this theme runs through a number of these
stories. For any South African, Sir Herbert Baker’s
architecture features prominently in daily life and
his stature as an architect in my home country is
unsurpassed. Jon Wright’s and Freeman Dyson’s
imagination and courage to pursue something
potentially great is inspirational.
These five stories reveal how Winchester continues
to play a leading role on the global stage, and that
its founder’s vision remains just as relevant today
as it was in 1382.

War Cloister:
‘We will remember them’
Gordon Baker (H, 1984-89)
A
s the forces of militarism, imperialism
and nationalism started to pull Europe
apart during 1912 and 1913, very few
at Winchester could foresee the significant toll
that the inevitable war that broke out in 1914
would take on the Wykehamical family. It is
appropriate, on the centenary of one of the
most defining periods in modern political and
military history, to reflect upon the valour
of the very many Wykehamists who stepped
forward to fight for God, King and Country,
and the ultimate sacrifice made by 500
of them between 1914 and 1918.
‘That’s the equivalent of an entire generation
of the School,’ says Michael Baker (F, 1950-55),
grandson of the great architect Sir Herbert Baker,
who designed Winchester’s War Cloister at the
request of his friend Dr. Monty Rendall,
Headmaster of the School at the time.
Sir Herbert was born in Kent in 1862, the fourth
of nine children. He was educated at Tonbridge,
from where, in 1879, he went to work for his cousin
Arthur Baker, who put him through the standard
architectural training of the day. He graduated top
of his class in 1891, winning the Ashpital Prize
from The Royal Institute of British Architects.
The following year he went to South Africa where,
over the next two decades, he would go on to
have an unprecedented influence on the country’s
architecture, designing many of its best-known and
most important buildings. He returned to Britain
in 1913 on being appointed with Edwin Lutyens
to build New Delhi, opening his own practice
in London. In 1917 he was commissioned to design
War Cloister, which was first dedicated in 1924,
and then again in 1948.

War Cloister: ‘We will remember them’
Gordon Baker (H, 1984-89)

Sir Herbert described the time he spent at Winchester
as ‘a glorious experience,’ and in sending his son
Henry Baker (F, 1918-24) to the School he continued
what is now an unbroken Baker family association
with Winchester that, so far, spans four generations
and nearly 100 years. His great-grandson Gordon
Baker (H, 1984-89), who from his office in Whitehall
overlooks Church House, a building designed by
Sir Herbert in the 1930s for the Church of England
as its headquarters, says of his time at Winchester
with his brother David (H, 1984-88), ‘I really loved it.
We arrived at the School as two lost souls. Our mother
had just passed away and we had just moved back to
the UK from America. Winchester is a very inclusive,
dynamic place and there was so much going on;
so we just got stuck in.’
Winchester has a beauty which one
absorbs just as a part of being there.
But if you do choose to pause and
look up, there is another layer of
beauty and meaning.

Asked about his schoolboy memories specifically of
War Cloister, Gordon’s recollections give away less
of his connection to its famous architect and illustrate
more the way in which the typical Wykehamist
takes for granted his magnificent surroundings.
‘I was always aware of my connection to War Cloister,
but mostly it was just the place I sprinted through
when I was running late on my way up to books.
It becomes a part of your normality – it’s just another
place in the School where you might give someone
a friendly greeting with a punch on the arm on
your way past each other.’
The reality, which Gordon - like most Wykehamists
– now recognises having left the School and spent
a working life in the wider world, is that ‘Winchester
has a beauty which one absorbs just as a part of
being there. But if you do choose to pause and look
up, there is another layer of beauty and meaning.’
His father Michael agrees, pointing to the inscription
around the inside of War Cloister as one such
example, a recital of which was a part of his
Notions test in 1950.
The wording is lyrical and powerful, but Michael also
notes that his grandfather took great trouble to ensure
that the word ‘Peace’ appeared in the middle of the
north wall, immediately below a sculptured relief
6

of an angel. It is this subtlety of balance and symmetry,
perceptible upon more considered observation, which
is characteristic of the Cloister’s architectural charm.
Perhaps with College Chapel, the Cathedral, Chamber
Court and School, Winchester is spoiled for choice
of settings for formal occasions. Indeed, Michael
recalls that ‘there was seldom a special event in War
Cloister,’ although he does recount ‘a very touching
moment one Christmas, when the Quiristers were
tucked into the far corner of a candle-lit War Cloister
singing carols.’ Nowadays, I am pleased to learn,
War Cloister is used more regularly for School
occasions. Gordon’s most striking memory of his
great-grandfather’s creation is one that will resonate
with anyone who has played on Canvas: ‘We stood
there, eye-balling the OTH team, before walking out,
side by side, to the roar of the rest of the School.’
Gordon states that his great-grandfather ‘would have
made a good Wykehamist.’ Michael backs up this
assertion with a story revealing Sir Herbert’s very
Wykehamical sense of humour. As a boy, he was
turned down by Haileybury for entrance at 13.
Having established himself as one of the Empire’s
pre-eminent war graves architects by the mid-1920s,
he was asked by Haileybury to design their Memorial

of the most defining periods in modern
political and military history, to reflect
upon the valour of the very many

to fight for God, King and Country.
Dining Hall. In an act of poetic retribution,
he inscribed the school’s motto above the Hall in
ancient Greek, the only incidence of its appearance
in anything other than English or Latin. Perhaps he
did this to have the last laugh, making life a little more
challenging for those who had been granted a place
there; but maybe he also sought to stamp indelibly his
own intellectual superiority upon all Haileyburians
for eternity – a truly Wykehamical trait.

Disturbing the Universe:
Dreams of Earth and Sky
Freeman Dyson (Coll, 1936-41)
I
t does little justice to the remarkable
catalogue of achievements of Freeman
Dyson (Coll, 1936-41) to state simply
that he is one of the world’s pre-eminent
physicists and mathematicians, although any
scientist – and even many non-scientists –
will tell you he is.
In advance of an interview with Professor Dyson,
who resides in Princeton, New Jersey, some
background research suggests a colossal intellect
awaits me on the other end of the telephone.
When I get through, however, what is most striking
is the ease with which our discussion proceeds.
Professor Dyson’s natural warmth comes through
in a way that immediately dispels any suggestion
of the stereotypically unapproachable scientist in
an ivory tower of intellectual superiority.
‘Winchester College has been a part of my life for
longer than I can remember,’ he tells me. ‘I was eight
months old when we moved into 21 Kingsgate Street
in 1924, when my father was appointed Director of
Music at the College.’ His earliest childhood memories
therefore are of running around Meads, climbing
trees and chasing dogs. ‘We were hooligans!’ he says
of himself and his friends, the young children of
other members of Common Room.
Charting the course of his progress from young
hooligan to Professor Emeritus at the Institute for
Advanced Study, the position he holds today, is an
exercise in the appreciation of the fulfilment of human
potential. Professor Dyson was awarded a Professorship
at Cornell University at the age of 28. Had it not been
for the war, and two years consequently spent in
Operations Research at RAF Bomber Command
halfway through his undergraduate degree at
Cambridge, he might well have achieved this accolade
even earlier. He has had over a dozen books and
papers published, including his 1979 autobiography
Disturbing the Universe, in which he discussed his
ambitions to travel into space, having set himself
the timetable of personally reaching Saturn by 1970.
He has advised governments on matters ranging from
nuclear warfare to climate change. He is one of very
few to have been received Ad Portas at Winchester
twice, and the list of his awards and honours reads
comprehensively, with only a Nobel Prize missing
from the list. Although many argue that the
committee has committed an oversight in never
having awarded him the Nobel Prize for Physics,
Professor Dyson counters modestly that he prefers the
infamy of never having won it, while also pointing
out that ‘people asking why you didn’t get the prize
is much better than them asking why you did!’

I remain very impressed to this day by
the imagination shown by the School
in arranging this for me. Travel was
not easy during the war, so this
was a significant undertaking.
In the midst of all this achievement, the world of
science recognises Professor Dyson’s demonstration
of the equivalence of the formulations of
quantum electrodynamics as his single most
important contribution.
He explains to me in very clear and simple language
that quantum electrodynamics is the study of how
atoms and light particles behave, the most spectacular
application of which is the laser. ‘The physical
ideas were all correct, and the proofs had been
comprehensively gone over many times,’ he explains.
‘However, the mathematics was a bit of a mess,
so it was difficult to be 100% sure that it all worked.
I cleaned up the mess. I didn’t need to invent anything.
There were three different versions of this set of ideas,
all pretty well understood, but they were not at all
user-friendly. I just straightened it all out.’
18 Winchester College Annual Report 2013

At Winchester, the young Freeman Dyson was quickly
identified as mathematically gifted. By his final year
there was no Mathm a- don at the School who was able
to teach him anything further, and so it was arranged
for Daniel Pedoe, a professor from Southampton
University to come in each week to tutor him.
‘I remain very impressed to this day by the imagination
shown by the School in arranging this for me. Travel
was not easy during the war, so this was a significant
undertaking.’ It was through these tutorials that
he first learned about the world of professional
mathematics and he attributes these sessions with
his ultimately becoming a mathematician.
The other major influences on his early years were
three of his contemporaries in College: James Lighthill,
(Coll, 1936-41), the aero-acoustic mathematician
whose work paved the way for the development
of the Concorde; Christopher Longuet-Higgins
(Coll, 1935-41), the cognitive scientist and theoretical
chemist, who as an undergraduate at Oxford proposed
the correct structure of the chemical compound
Diborane; and his younger brother, the oceanographer
Michael Longuet-Higgins (Coll, 1939-43), who
introduced the theory of the origin of microseisms.
Dyson, Lighthill, and the two Longuet-Higgins
brothers all went on to become Fellows of the
Royal Society, in recognition of their achievements
4
in their respective fields. ‘We were all Collegemen
at the same time. To have had the four of us all there
together was quite remarkable really when you
look back on it.’
My brief conversation with Professor Dyson
introduced me to a rare breadth of horizon that is
unusual. To hear someone speak plainly about his
very real ambitions in the 1950s to travel into space,
and the many years spent designing, building and
testing a spacecraft to take him there, is not an
everyday occurrence. ‘It was the most romantic
period of my life, working on my spaceship.
I was entranced with the idea, and I was dead set
on going myself,’ he tells me. ‘I was going to have
2,000 bombs on board to get me up into the sky.
I know it sounds a bit crazy now, but it seemed
quite real at the time.’
It was the most romantic period of my
life, working on my spaceship. I was
entranced with the idea, and I was
dead set on going myself.
5
His sense of scale is remarkable, too. He’s very
comfortable talking about the possibility that life exists
elsewhere in the universe, but cautions us not to get
over-excited. ‘There’s no point in wasting our time
trying to guess now – we’ll find out about it one day.’
As for space travel, the idea still clearly excites him.
‘Commercial space travel probably will become a part
of daily life… but only in a couple of hundred years’
time. For now, unmanned missions are proving very
successful, and we’re gaining a totally new view of the
universe all the time. So when it happens, it won’t be
very useful, but it will be a great adventure.’

Just Reward:
the benefits of the bursary programme
Laurie Harris (I, 2008-13)
W
inchester’s charitable raison d’être
does not enjoy the prominence
in public awareness that it should.
The School is known for many things, most
notably its academic excellence, long history
and beautiful grounds. Too few know of or
appreciate how fundamental the charitable
tenets of the School are, and why. This is key
to understanding Winchester’s position as a
global leader among schools.
The original Charter drawn up by William of
Wykeham, dated 20 October 1382, sets out his
vision for the School to provide access to education
for those who would benefit most from it,
irrespective of their social background or financial
circumstances. Since the fourteenth century, this
approach has been at the very heart of Winchester’s
DNA. Today, fulfilling this vision remains just as
relevant, although it is not simply about doing the
bidding of our Founder. In a climate of increasingly
intense political focus on the role of private education,
driving a wider social benefit is a sine qua non for a
school like Winchester, and many would consider
charity the independent school’s licence to operate
in twenty-first century Britain.
There is, however, more to Winchester’s charitable
focus in 2014 than a six-hundred-year-old charter,
or the political and social credibility that it may gain
the School – as important as both of these are in its
historical and contemporary contexts. To consider
either of these to be the primary driver behind the
bursary programme is to fail to recognise the far
more important point about what allows Winchester
to maintain its position at the forefront of the
academic world.
Laurie Harris (I, 2008-13) left Winchester with a
choral scholarship to Cambridge to read Theology.
He is a member of the Clare College mixed-voice
choir, which has just returned from a tour of the
United States, performing to sell-out audiences
around the country. Laurie came to Winchester by
the grace of the John Bellamy Trust, set up by the late
Mrs Bellamy in her will in memory of her only child
who was killed in an accident. Laurie was an active
member of Music School as a horn player, pianist and
singer. In his final year he made a fine Sen. Co. Prae.
Here is a young man who fulfils precisely William of
Wykeham’s vision of a Wykehamist. However, were
it not for the bursary programme, he says categorically
that he would not have been in a position to take up a
place at the School. ‘There is no way, not even nearly,
that I would have been able to go to Winchester,’ he says.

Without the bursary that funded his education
therefore, the boys in Laurie’s year would not have
had the benefit of his perspectives while learning
alongside him for five years; his fellow Hopperites
would not have enjoyed his company and his insights
in the debates which ran late into the night in House
Library; and Winchester as a whole would have missed
his leadership, the enjoyment of his musical ability
and the individual, incremental contribution that
all Wykehamists make to life at the School.
Laurie too is clear that he is the richer for have been at
Winchester. ‘Every facet of Winchester life challenges
you in every way. It engages you at a very high level,’
he says. ‘I gained a confidence from Winchester which
I lacked before. I cannot say how valuable that is.’
With 82 bursary beneficiaries currently at the
School who, like Laurie, have a potential talent,
and who without a bursary would have been unable
to take up a place at Winchester, the richness of life
at the School is enhanced immeasurably through
the bursary programme.
Furthermore, when one considers the number of
scholarship and bursary places available, drawing
in young men from a wide variety of backgrounds
with a multiplicity of talents and interests across the
spectrum of Winchester life, the bursary programme
is perhaps largely responsible for the diversity of
22 Winchester College Annual Report 2013

social and cultural fabric that lends Winchester
its unique character.
‘It is critical to have more boys on bursaries.
Winchester needs to be ahead of the pace, rather
than playing catch up,’ says John Sanders (F, 1956-61),
a former Sen. Co. Prae. who, together with his son
Richard (K, 1984-89), set up the Winchester College
Golf Bursary Endowment Fund.
It speaks to the enormous generosity of the Sanders
that such an endowment could be made. It is clearly
not practical to donate a sum ring-fenced for a specific
cause if the annual investment yield cannot generate
sufficient cashflow to fund the bursary. It also speaks
to the open-mindedness and far-sightedness of the
School, as John explains: ‘To the Head Man’s eternal
credit, he embraced the idea enthusiastically. Sport is
an important part of the Winchester offering.’ John is
quick to point out, however, that this is not a sports
scholarship. ‘The recipient must, of course, first
clear all the usual academic hurdles, but there is an
additional hurdle – he must be a talented golfer and
his primary extra-curricular activity at the School
should be golf.’ The current beneficiary of the award
was finally put forward, after a long search, by none
other than the Captain of The Royal and Ancient
Golf Club in St Andrews, Pierre Bechmann.

It is critical to have more boys on
bursaries. Winchester needs to be
ahead of the pace, rather than
playing catch up.
The Sanders chose golf because it is something both
are passionate about, but as John says, endowments
could, in theory, be focused in any way that a
benefactor wishes. ‘If you wanted a bursary to go
to a boy from South Africa, or a good cricketer,
it could in theory be possible to donate towards
that.’ In this respect, the Sanders are pioneers for
Winchester, in that their model opens up the
possibility of significant new sources of funding for
the bursary programme, as benefactors are inspired
to give in a way that is more personal to them.
For example, James Ferguson (C, 1961-66), who
has strong connections near Belfast, volunteered
to endow the ‘Northern Ireland Bursary Fund.’
As in the case of the Sanders, since the usefulness
of a ring-fenced endowment relies upon its scale
and consequent ability to generate meaningful funds
each year, this is an enormously generous donation.
6
The first beneficiary of the award arrived in Short
Half 2013, and so already it is creating a positive
legacy, both in Northern Ireland and in Flint Court.
Ensuring that the School has the financial
wherewithal to maintain and grow the number of
bursaries is a significant challenge, and never more
so than today in the face of both a financial crisis and
the increased cost of providing a top-class education.
It is to the very great credit of the School’s leadership
that, in the last few years in particular, enormous
progress has been made in extending the bursary
programme, more than doubling the number
of boys on bursaries since 2006.
It is an insufficiently recognised truth that,
without this programme, Winchester would not be
the institution that it is, allowing it the scope to select
the boys who will contribute most positively to its
culture of success, rather than simply those who
can afford its fees.
And as with all of the most sustainable and worthwhile
initiatives, it fosters a mutual benefit. As Laurie Harris
says, ‘The greatest gift you could give someone is the
experience I had at Winchester College.’

Entrepreneurial Fruit:
an interview with the co-founder of Innocent Drinks
Jon Wright (K, 1985-90)
W
hat made Jon Wright
(K, 1985-90), co-founder of
Innocent Drinks, into one of the
most successful British entrepreneurs of the
last few years? He’s full of little anecdotes
from his past when I speak to him following
his return from a New Year holiday in
South Africa. ‘As a young kid I earned my
own pocket money, so I was always trying
to shift things on to the other kids…
My most profitable venture was a day trip
to Boulogne when I was at prep school.
I bought a whole load of French bangers
and lighters, and then sold them to my mates
when we got back. I did very well out of it,
but the teachers were not that impressed
with all the explosions going on around
the school.’
Although he’s reluctant to credit his entrepreneurial
success to any one single influence, when he speaks
of his time at Winchester, it’s clear that something
was nurtured there that pointed him in the direction
of a creative and enterprising future. ‘When I visited
the School for Election, we were taken into Mill
and there was a group of boys who were making
a hovercraft. That was very exciting.’
When he took up his place in Beloe’s, Mill continued
to stimulate his imagination. Jon and his partner in
crime, Rick Taylor (K, 1986-90), decided to make a
superconductor one day, and to use it to demonstrate
the Meissner Effect, whereby the superconductor can
be made to levitate above a magnet when cooled by
liquid nitrogen.
They spent some time in Science School and in
Mill putting together the compounds and building
their apparatus, and in front of a lecture theatre
filled with their classmates and other scientists they
successfully carried out their experiment. Jon believes
that the experience is a fundamental characteristic of
a Winchester education. ‘Winchester gives boys an
ability to indulge their passions, and it offers them the
facilities, the support and the time to pursue them
deeply. The School pushes them to be the best version
of themselves, not just a cookie-cut generalist.’

Entrepreneurial Fruit: an interview with the co-founder of Innocent Drinks
Jon Wright (K, 1985-90)
1
Jon left Winchester and went up to St. John’s College,
Cambridge in 1991, where on his first night he met
two fellow freshers in the student bar – Adam Balon
from London, and Richard Reed from Yorkshire.
That there were stars aligned when Jon walked
into that bar is beyond doubt – the three of them
would go on to start and build a business together,
and then sell it to Coca-Cola for an undisclosed
sum, reported to be in excess of £400 million.
I ask the obvious question: ‘How?’
Jon was working as a management consultant at
Bain & Company when he, Richard and Adam
decided to go on a skiing holiday. ‘We were driving
to Val d’Isère when we came up with the idea.
As soon as we got back we started working on it.’
The story of the moment critique in the birth of
Innocent Drinks is, by now, quite well known.
Having taken the idea as far as they could whilst still
holding down serious full-time jobs, the trio decided
it was crunch time. ‘Being a consultant, I wanted
‘clip-board’ evidence to support our idea. So we set
up a stand and started handing out our smoothies one
day. We had a sign up, asking people if they thought
we should give up our jobs to start a company
selling them.’ They placed two bins in front of their
stand, one marked YES and the other marked NO.
‘I think my mum put a few empties into the NO bin
26 Winchester College Annual Report 2013
2
to try to prevent me from chucking in my very
expensive education to go and blend fruit for a living,
but otherwise we had a very full YES bin and
not too many in the NO bin.’
So the decision was made, but it wasn’t plain sailing
by any means. ‘We obviously needed financial
backing but we were three guys with no track record;
we couldn’t even decide which one of us would be
chief. We were told we were totally uninvestible.’
Banks and venture capitalists turned them away one
after the other. It came down to their last roll of the
dice, and they sent an email out to everyone they
knew, asking if anyone knew anyone who might be
interested in investing in their business. They only
got one response. As it turned out, that was all they
needed. The introduction was made to Maurice Pinto,
an American businessman, and the rest is history.
It took them ten years to build a £400 million business.
Jon is a member of the Old Wykehamist Entrepreneurs
Guild, and he recently hosted the inaugural meeting
in Fruit Towers, Innocent’s headquarters, which was
attended by nearly 50 Old Wykehamists. ‘It’s great to
reconnect with these guys. When you start looking
around, there are lots of interesting things that
Wykehamists are doing.’ He points to some of
his fellow Guild members, such as Paul Cleaver
(H, 1985-90) who owns a real estate management
4
3
business, and Sam Critchley (I, 1986-91) who
co-founded Spaaza, a business that brings ‘a little
bit of online wizardry’ to the retail industry.
However, he is quick to point out that there is also
a diversity within his Wykehamist circle which is
just as interesting as those who have started their
own businesses. ‘I have friends who are civil servants,
clergymen, actors and medics. It was great to see
Bill Buckhurst (K, 1985-90)’s name in the
Skyfall credits.’
Our conversation begins to meander away from
the subject of Winchester and Innocent Drinks –
we discuss safari in South Africa (‘unbeatable’);
the importance of teamwork (‘none of my major
achievements has been a solo effort.’); most important
lessons learned (‘All the lessons I learned while
starting up our business were the things people had
tried to tell me. Now I’m trying to tell others. I wish
people would listen’); how choosing the right people
is crucial in business (‘When we were expanding
into Europe, we found that the countries where we
were successful were those where we had a strong
country manager, not necessarily where the market
fundamentals were any better.’); and how important
it is to get the details right.

Winchester gives boys an ability to
indulge their passions, and it offers them
the facilities, the support and the time to
pursue them deeply. The School pushes
them to be the best version of themselves,
not just a cookie-cut generalist.
We eventually decide that there is too much to
discuss on one telephone call and we agree to meet
for lunch. Before I hang up, I ask him one last
question: ‘Would your fellow co-founders have
made good Wykehamists?’ His response is emphatic:
‘Absolutely. They’re both exceptionally smart, they
strive for excellence and they want to achieve things.’
It’s a resounding endorsement of Wykehamists,
and confirmation that there are the makings of
an entrepreneur in us all.

Ladakh:
expanding the Founder’s vision beyond our borders
Oli Wettern (G, 2006-11)
n the summer of 2012, a flight from
Delhi touched down in Leh, the capital
city of the former Himalayan Kingdom
of Ladakh, today a region of India’s politically
troubled state of Kashmir. Thirty young
Wykehamists in Sixth Book II stepped off
the plane, ready to begin an unusual mission:
to help in the construction of a nunnery in
the small village of Basgo, an hour’s drive
to the north-west.
I
Winchester College’s association with the nunnery
in Ladakh was brokered by the Lotus Flower Trust,
a charity which was formed in 2008 to work in
‘remote and impoverished communities in India.’
The Trust’s stated objective for the end of 2013 is to
have completed 21 projects, helping more than 2,000
children and their families through the construction
of schools, housing and community centres to
promote education, safety and security. With over
a third of Indians living on less than $1.25 each day,
there is clearly an urgent and considerable need for
this type of help.
Until the group arrived, the local townspeople and
the young nuns themselves, who ranged in age from
5 to 26 years old, were undertaking construction
of the nunnery. The boys brought their energy
and manpower, and their involvement pushed
construction ahead by several months in just a couple
of weeks. More importantly, however, they were
also responsible for the entire funding of the project.
They had raised around £40,000 during the year
through a number of self-started initiatives, including
running, cycling and rowing in the School gym the
5,000-odd miles that separate Winchester and Ladakh.
David Baldwin (Housemaster F, 1981-96) first
introduced the School to the Lotus Flower Trust
through John Hunt, a former Marks & Spencer plc
executive of 25 years, and now CEO of the Trust.
Since the School’s first involvement, two projects –
including the Ladakh nunnery, lasting two years
each – have been completed by four groups of
Wykehamists. A fifth group in as many years will be
heading out to northern India this summer to begin
the construction phase of a third project, the building
of The Himalayan International School in Massoorie,
also to be run in collaboration with the Trust.

A second aspect of the project is the
camaraderie amongst the boys, the
leadership skills that are developed, and
the friendships that form between boys
who may not have had much to do with
one another at School up to that point.
‘There are two key elements to these projects
from the perspective of the boys,’ says Oli Wettern,
a member of the India team in 2010, and a member
of staff on the Ladakh team in 2012. ‘The first is
that the boys have the opportunity to gain exposure
to a part of the world they don’t necessarily know
very well.’ The value of this aspect of a young
Wykehamist’s education is obvious. Broadening
horizons and opening minds to the world beyond
the typical English public school has long been a
hallmark of a Winchester education, and is one
of the few defining characteristics of the otherwise
difficult-to-describe Div, unique to Winchester.

To this end, although the charitable endeavour was
very much the primary focus of the boys’ time in
India, the scope of the trip extended beyond it.
There was also time for some cultural exploration,
including the challenge of climbing the 20,182ft peak,
Stok Kangri, which two thirds of the boys achieved.
‘A second aspect of the project is the camaraderie
amongst the boys, the leadership skills that are
developed, and the friendships that form between
boys who may not have had much to do with one
another at School up to that point,’ says Oli.
It’s clear speaking to him that the experience was not
just one that offered him and his fellow Wykehamists
some new perspectives on the world, although no
doubt the insights they gained were valuable in
themselves. There is something more profound that
comes through – a sense of achievement and pride at
having accomplished something that few schoolboys
can lay claim to.

Long after these young Wykehamists have left Ladakh,
and even after the second group comes and goes a year
later having put the finishing touches to the project
and inaugurated the nunnery, a real and tangible legacy
is established. When William of Wykeham founded
Winchester, one of his stated objectives was to educate
boys to exercise leadership in society. An integral
part of his vision was to provide access to education,
irrespective of the social background of the scholars.
Whilst certainly premature to begin to speak of the
achievement of the Ladakh teams in similar terms
to that of our founder, the fact is that fifty young
girls in northern India will be able to enjoy the gift
of an education, by the good grace, hard work and
determination of two groups of Wykehamists.
There is every hope and expectation that the nunnery
will continue to provide a safe and prosperous home
for young nuns in the region for many years to come.
The boys brought their energy and
manpower, and their involvement pushed
construction ahead by several months in
just a couple of weeks.
5
In future years, as long as Winchester can manage to
keep the momentum going, more boys will fund and
construct further facilities in this needy but beautiful
and fascinating part of the world.
It is a great tribute to the School that, more than
six centuries after William of Wykeham realised his
vision and founded Winchester College, the young
men who benefit from his initiative go out into the
world – far beyond the borders and relative comfort
of Hampshire – to deliver their own implementation
of that same vision.

Winchester College Annual Report 2013 31
A report from the Chairman
of the Finance Committee
Charles Sinclair (B, 1961-66)
Chairman of the Finance Committee
T
he academic year 2012/13 was again
a good one for the School’s finances,
and a small improvement over 2011/12.
The key figures and factors that have generated
this result are analysed in the Bursar’s report on
page 6, in which he is careful to remind us that,
after depreciation, the education account has a
deficit this year of £984,000. Even that figure
is flattered by £412,000 of internal support
from dedicated income of the accumulated
Bursary Funds. This small, but persistent deficit
is manageable so long as investment returns
remain satisfactory and the generosity of the
Wykehamical community through donations
and legacies does not waver.
The Finance Committee has a steady flow of basic
reviews: annual budgets, termly accounts, the all
important level of pupil numbers, fee recommendations,
capital projects, current cost controls, matters arising
from the Works and Investment Committees, and
balance sheet management. I mention this in contrast
to three special areas of the Committee’s recent activity.
First, our developing cashflow model which shows a
reasonably comfortable liquidity position for the next
five years, even after the £6 million refurbishment
32 Winchester College Annual Report 2013
of New Hall, and an accelerated programme of work
on Commoner Houses to keep them fit-for-purpose
and safe. The following five years become more
challenging, as we hope to be re-building the School’s
PE Centre and other facilities in Kingsgate Park,
in addition to the groundswell of capital projects.
Second, developing data and models to inform a
renewed consideration of policy on bursaries. This
work confronts issues of affordability, fairness, and,
more fundamentally, the make-up of the pupil body.
Third, a restructuring of our pension arrangements for
the non-teaching staff. The Committee recommended,
and the Governing Body accepted, that maintaining
the defined benefit pension scheme was an unacceptable
long-term risk. As a result, a new defined contribution
scheme was set up, at similar cost to the School, with the
full agreement of the staff affected. Given that payroll
costs represent 57% of the total expenditure of the
School, managing pension cost remains an important
focus for the Committee, while acknowledging the
importance of pension saving for every employee.
Our fundraisers had another good year, and many
readers of this Annual Report will have been telephoned
by young Wykehamists this last summer, and charmed
into becoming donors. The boys were challenged (with
matching funds) by a small group of Wykeham Patrons,
to encourage both new donors and donors making
regular contributions. They rose to both challenges.
Charles Sinclair (B, 1961-66) Chairman of the Finance Commitee
Andrew Joy, (C, 1970-74) Chairman elect of the Investment Committee
On our investments, our financial assets were valued
at £18.8 million at 31st August 2013, and returned
11.5% during 2012/13. This portfolio is largely
invested under an absolute return mandate, so
under-performed the index, but we would expect it
to out-perform in weaker markets. Our residential
investment properties were valued at £7.7 million,
generating a return of 39% including the unrealized
valuation gain on Wharf Mews, a small development
of 6 residential units now valued at £2.55 million after
a construction cost of £925,000, yielding £86,000
rent. Our agricultural holdings, excluding Barton
Farm, generated a return including unrealized
valuation gains of 19.1%, reflecting consistent
improvements to our farms where they enhance rental
yields. As the Warden explains earlier, Barton Farm
may provide a further boost to these returns over
time. The overall, like for like, return on these three
portfolios was 18.5%. Our forebears have done us well.
According to Savills, over the last ten years, agricultural
land has been an outstanding asset class at 15% annual
returns, second only to forestry at 16%. Residential
property and equity have not matched them.
Committee for twenty years. In that role, he suggested
that there was insufficient time in the agenda for
proper attention to investment matters. The inevitable
result was that he became a Fellow in 2008 and the
founder Chairman of a new Investment Committee.
He has been a fearless advocate for the discipline of
proper returns in all aspects of the School’s life,
not merely financial. Mark retires at the end of
Cloister Time. We shall miss him.
The Investment Committee which supervises these
assets has been led since inception by Mark Loveday
(H, 1957-62). Mark became a financial adviser to the
Warden in 1994, serving Wardens Morse, Younger,
Large and Clementi. He has sat on the Finance
Andrew Joy, our new Fellow, will take on the
Chairmanship of the Investment Committee from
Mark. He is eminently qualified: his six early years at
Hill Samuel found him drawn towards Development
Capital as it was then known; in 1992, he joined
Cinven, one of the outstanding performers in
European Private Equity, and built its funding base
and investment returns. After twenty-one good years,
he has moved to Fleming Family and Partners.
In summary, our finances are sound for the time being,
but we depend on the commitment of our donors and
the performance of our fundraisers and investment
management to make ends meet. Significant,
but engaging, challenges lie ahead, including our
Founder’s, that no pupil capable of enjoying a
Winchester education should be prevented from
so doing by a lack of resources.

Reflections of the Director:
Looking back on his ten years ‘in Development’
David Fellowes (I, 1963-67)
O
‘
h, I see; so you’re going to be
involved in fundraising now,
are you?’ This was one of the early
reactions to my appointment in March 2004 as
Secretary of Wykehamist Society, in succession
to Patrick Maclure. My immediate and illconsidered reaction is probably unprintable,
but little did I know how far-sighted that
observation was to become, as I gradually
discovered and embraced the true meaning
of the term ‘Development’.
Fast-forward to March 2007 and the birth of
Winchester College Society. I was undoubtedly lucky
in not having to cope with any ‘baggage’ in the form
of a heavily constituted and independently minded
alumni society, as still seems to be the norm elsewhere.
I was also most fortunate in being encouraged by an
inspirational and most supportive group of volunteer
OWs, who became the founding members of Win Coll
Soc’s Council, so ably chaired, first by Peter Stormonth
Darling (C, 1945-50), then William Eccles (C, 1973-77)
and now Alasdair Maclay (Coll, 1986-91). I remain
indebted to them and their colleagues on the Council.
The Society’s stated aims have remained unchanged
ever since, namely to maintain and build good
relations amongst the worldwide Wykehamical family,
36 Winchester College Annual Report 2013
to foster support for the School and pride in all it seeks
to achieve, and to encourage the culture of giving.
I have often described our structure, recently regarded
by some other schools as the ‘gold standard’, as being
a ‘fully integrated’ Development Office, where alumni
relations and fundraising are seen as seamless and
natural functions; those aims would be far less easily
achieved without such complete integration.
But things only really began to happen with the
appointment of a truly first-class Director of
Development in September 2008, to be followed six
months later by her Deputy Director. Lorna Stoddart
and then Tamara Templer both joined us from the
National Trust for Scotland – the cavalry had at last
arrived and the Wykeham Campaign could start in
earnest! Through hard work, patience, a thoroughly
professional approach and a healthy team ethic, strong
relationships right across the length and breadth of the
Wykehamical community are being built and sustained
by your Society, such that we invariably find our
supporters enjoying witnessing the benefits that their
generosity has enabled, whether given in terms of a
donation or of time. This is immensely rewarding
for our team as, in return, we are able to enjoy our
supporters’ ongoing interest, and sometimes
involvement, in what is happening at Winchester.
I have always enjoyed a good party, so it was a real
bonus to find that a significant part of my role
David Fellowes (I, 1963-67)
Director of Winchester College Society
Lorna Stoddart, Michael Wallis and Tamara Templer
The Development Team
was to arrange them! How better to re-engage
the Wykehamical family with Winchester and its
aspirations, and thereby to develop (there’s that
word again) relationships with them, than by finding
good reasons to bring the two together at a party?
In addition to the ‘hardy annuals’, such as the OW
Reception in London and the former Wykeham Day
in Winchester in September, now replaced as the
main Wykehamical event by Winchester Match in
June, I have found that the most popular events are
invariably those with a theme to them; reunions
such as the ‘Years-on’ gatherings, the undergraduate
‘pizza evenings’, the under 25s and 25s-40s Dinners,
the regional events, the Beloeite centenary in 2005,
the individual House 150th celebrations (A, B and
C so far, and I already look forward to being able to
enjoy the Hopperite celebrations in 2019 from among
the pack!), the Reception in May 2010 to celebrate
high-achieving OW sportsmen, the lunch in June
2012 to mark the life of Tiger Pataudi, the parents’
‘Win Co Sum Pa’ (yes, even parents can create a
Notion!), and the newly re-constituted ‘Goddard Day’,
in September.
Years-on Reunions; observing the most encouraging
development of the recent Guilds initiative; enjoying
the undoubted pleasure that parents, both present
and past, seem to derive from their involvement
and re-connection with the School; overseeing
the expansion of the Goddard Legacy Society
membership; stewarding the Wykeham Patrons
(home and especially away, ‘in the footsteps of’
an interesting and invariably ‘unpigeon-holeable’
OW!); finding themes by which groups of OWs
choose to and come together once more.
Some personal highlights for me? Of course, but
there have been too many to incorporate in these
pages, beyond mentioning the following: witnessing
the rekindling of dormant relationships at the
But the real highlight for me has been the privilege
of being entrusted with this fascinating role for these
past ten years. What the School itself has achieved
and where it now stands should be the cause for
considerable pride amongst all members of the
Wykehamical family. As the Headmaster has written
earlier in this Report, ‘we are indeed in a good place’,
to which I would like to add, ‘and are worthy of your
support’. May I encourage you either to continue with
your support for this extraordinary place or to give
serious consideration to doing so, no matter how small
this may be – you may be surprised at how much of
a kick it will give you. To my surprise, I have ended
up extracting quite a kick out of being involved in
fundraising after all!

38 Winchester College Annual Report 2013
Bearing in mind that 2011/12 was a record fundraising
year by some margin (at £3.2m) and included the bulk
of the Museum Appeal donations, 2012/13’s total of
£2.97m is no mean achievement: we are delighted
by the way the Wykehamical community continues
to support the School in what it is seeking to achieve.
We value each donation highly, and have taken great
heart from the degree of increasing generosity from
across the board. The following statistics from last
year compared with the bracketed comparisons from
2008/09 serve admirably to prove the point. Of this
last year’s 1,033 donors (727), there were 43 who gave
donations of over £10,000, totalling £2.205m
(£911k from 15), whilst 990 gave under £10,000,
totalling £522k (£469k from 712). The average
donation was £2,640 per donor (£1,898).
The 2013 Telephone Campaign contributed
£189,000 thanks to the efforts of our young OW
callers. Over £2 million have been raised from our
10 campaigns. This year we will be approaching
parents in addition to OWs.
Membership of the Goddard Legacy Society continues
to expand at an encouraging pace. There were 215
members at 31st August 2013, (149), whilst the
declared value of the ‘legacy book’ has increased
to £4.4m (£2.4m).
