Dunchurch-Winton Hall was a boarding and day Preparatory School for boys and girls from 3Шаблон:Fract to 13Шаблон:Fract years. Pupils joined the Main School at 7Шаблон:Fract while from 3Шаблон:Fract to 7Шаблон:Fract they attended the Pre-Preparatory Department which was housed separately in the grounds.

Originally built as a hunting lodge for the Duke of Buccleuch in 1840,[1] the School was an amalgamation in 1940[2] of Dunchurch Hall founded in 1868 and Winton House, founded in 1863 by the botanist and author Charles Alexander Johns. Dunchurch Hall had been on the site since 1883 and is now an English Courtyard development with the original Hall retained as part of the development.

The school prepared pupils for entry to Public Schools as well as for the 12+ entry examination to local state schools. The school stood in Шаблон:Cvt of gardens and playing fields in the Warwickshire village of Dunchurch. The school's motto was “Carpe Diem”.
