Winchester College

Winchester College est une public school anglaise située à Winchester, dans le Hampshire. Elle fait partie des neuf établissements les plus prestigieux d'Angleterre cités par le Public Schools Act de 1868, avec Eton College, Harrow School, Rugby School, Shrewsbury School et Westminster School, entre autres. Winchester College fonctionne sans interruption depuis plus de 600 ans, ce qui est un cas unique dans l'histoire de l'éducation au Royaume-Uni.

Un élève de Winchester College s'appelle un « wikamist ».

Sommaire

Histoire

Fondé en 1382 par William de Wykeham, évêque de Winchester et chancelier du roi Richard II, l'établissement se nomme au début Collegium Sanctae Mariae prope Wintoniam ou Collegium Beatae Mariae Wintoniensis prope Winton, mais aussi St Mary's College near Winchester. Il accueille ses 70 premiers élèves en 1394 – des élèves de familles pauvres, la vocation des public schools étant d'assurer l'éducation des enfants défavorisés.

La fondation de 1382 s'est faite conjointement à celle de New College (Oxford), l'école étant censée former les futurs étudiants de ce collège universitaire. Cinquante ans plus tard, une double fondation suit cet exemple : celle d'Eton College et de King's College (Cambridge). Plus tard, sous le règne des Tudors, la fondation de Westminster School sera elle aussi indissociable de la création de Christ Church (Oxford) et de Trinity College (Cambridge).
