'''Winterborne School''' was a public school in [[Surrey]], [[England]].

Winterborne was built by [[Isaac Greatorex|Sir Isaac Greatorex]] in [[1764]] as a charity school for the poor, but he got into debt and sold it, after which it was reopened as a minor public school that became one of prestige over the years. However, it was widely-believed that Greatorex had been forced to give up the school because of devil-worship and human sacrifice, as well as membership of a religious sect. He was hanged and buried beneath the gallows.

[[Margaret Wyndham]] became headmistress of the school because of her sister Taploe's death. Andrew returned to school in a bid to overcome the tragic events surrounding the Greatorex cult, but became himself influenced by him. He killed [[Max Rosenberg]] and assisted in Greatorex's resurrection until Liz and Wyndham banished his spirit. Andrew decided to remain at the school.

[[Whittaker (The Devil of Winterborne)|Whittaker]] was [[headmaster]] of the school for decades until he was persuaded to resign and [[Gavin Purcell]] took the office. Following Purcell's arrest, [[Barbara Taploe]] (the long-standing Head of History) was briefly acting-head before her death, ([[HOMEVID]]: {{cs|The Devil of Winterborne (home video)}}) upon which her twin sister [[Margaret Wyndham]] became headmistress.
