Summer Fields Today
When they leave, many boys proceed to one of the five all-boys and all-boarding schools now remaining in England: Eton College, Radley College, Winchester College, Harrow School and Sherborne School.
The boys are organised into four 'leagues'. One of them is named Maclaren after the Founder; the others are Moseley (after Henry Moseley), Congreve (after William La Touche Congreve), and Case (after William Sterndale Case, master from 1910 to 1922). Each league has its own identifying colour: Case red, Congreve yellow, Maclaren green, and Moseley blue. In their leagues the boys wear a polo shirt in the league colour, along with the rest of the uniform, blue corduroys, and brown shoes. On Sundays as well as on special days, such as the School Concert, and the end of term, boys wear a tweed jacket, with a light blue coloured shirt, black shoes, and grey flannel trousers. Their ties are in their league colours.
The school has traditionally been a rival of the Dragon School, which is also in north Oxford.
