Horris hill school
Horris Hill, is a boarding and day preparatory school for boys, situated in the far north of Hampshire in England, south of Newbury in West Berkshire and near the village of Newtown. The school was founded on its present site in 1888 by A. H. Evans, a master at Winchester College. Over the years the close connection with Winchester has been maintained, although almost as many boys now go on to Eton and Radley, as well as many other leading public schools. Whilst academic standards are high, each child is given the opportunity to discover and develop other talents, whether they be sporting, artistic, musical or personal.
