This report describes the impact on boarding education of the transfer of post-16 colleges to the Further Education Funding Council from April 1993, and reports on consultation with the two Winchester secondary schools concerned on the future of the associated boarding houses.
The College has confirmed that, in keeping with recent trends of growth in demand for post-16 boarding, it expects to be able to use a significant number of boarding places in excess of the total capacity of Wyke Lodge and School House which have both been enlarged with effect from September 1993.
The headteachers of the secondary schools and the principal of Peter Symonds' College have confirmed the value of continuing to work co-operatively, including maintaining an agreed approach to such matters as fee levels, staffing policies, advertising and shared use of facilities.

 Hampshire County Council
Two boarding houses associated with Peter Symonds' Sixth Form College in Winchester ceased to be the responsibility of the County Council in April 1993, as a result of the incorporation of further education and sixth form colleges.
During informal discussion with the headteachers and governing bodies of Kings' and Westgate schools, it was clear that both schools wished the County Council to retain the boarding houses and for the schools to assume greater responsibility for their management and finances.
The number of boarders in September 1994 is expected to result in a financial position at the end of the present financial year, similar to that at the end of 1993/94.

 Henry Sidgwick
As he explained to his close friend Symonds, he had “tried all methods in turn—all that I found pointed out by any of those who have gone before me; and all in turn have failed—revelational, rational, empirical methods—there is no proof in any of them” (Sidgwick and Sidgwick, 1906: 472).
Thus, his (highly Millian) feminism was focused on higher education for women and the foundation of Newham College, and his many attempts to improve the curriculum of Cambridge University (by including Bentham, modern literature, physiology and other new subjects) were correlated with efforts to expand its audience and impact (Tullberg, [1975], 1998).
His support for John Addington Symonds, one of the English followers of Walt Whitman and a pioneer of gay studies, is also suggestive of how creative and wide-ranging his educational efforts could be.

The first of their colleges arose at Coimbra (1542); in Paris they had the Hotel de Clermont; in Germany they began at Ingoldstadt.
