Peter Symonds College is a sixth form college in Winchester, Hampshire, England. The college is recognised as the largest sixth form in England and is noted for the high number of its students which progress to Oxbridge.[3][4]
Peter Symonds College traces its origins to Christes Hospitall, a charitable institution established through the will of Peter Symonds, a prosperous Tudor merchant.[5] In 1896 the charity established the College as a grammar school for boys.
Peter Symonds serves as the official sixth-form college of the Falkland Islands, housing a boarding house named Falklands Lodge.[6] It is also one of the very few sixth form colleges which serve as a boarding school.[7]
