 A Handbook of The Winchester Public Schools (The Handley Schools)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The Handley School, as it now stands and with the grounds being developed from year to year, represents an expenditure of nearly a million dollars and is housing the junior and senior high schools and grades four, five and six of the elementary department.
Winchester is already the beneficiary of three endowments, the John Kerr Building Fund, the Handley Foundation, and the Lucien Lupton Horticultural Endowment, and there are two more in which the schools will share in later years.
When the Handley Fund became available to the Winchester Schools only a comparatively small appropriation was being made from the city's income and there was an impression in the community that the citizens would be relieved, by the endowment, of any future taxation for schools.

A public school, in common British usage, is a school which is usually prestigious and historic, which charges fees, does not arbitrarily restrict admissions, and is financed by bodies other than the state, commonly as a private charitable trust.
The term 'public' (first adopted by Eton) refers to the fact that the school is open to the paying public, as opposed to, a religious school open only to members of a certain church, and in contrast to private education at home (usually only practical for the very wealthy who could afford tutors).
The head teachers of major British independent schools usually belong to the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC), as distinct from the Secondary Heads' Association, and it is generally considered that any school that is a member of HMC is entitled to call itself a Public School.

Winchester’s Alternate School has been in operation for approximately 23 years and during that time I have seen nothing official that indicates Alternate School students have made adjustments or progress that would allow them to be transferred to regular classrooms.
I base my reasoning on the fact that Gilbert School representatives have indicated many times that they are willing to accept Alternate School students, but not Winchester’s alternate education program.
School administrators, however, have informed us that there is no room for our Alternate School students at Gilbert or Regional.
