Diana Magnay Family
Diana Magnay has an older sister, Caroline. The Magnay sisters attended Winchester House School. In an interview with House! magazine in celebration of 40 at WHS, Diana opened up about what made her parents send her to WHS.
Diana said: “My mother had decided that WHS was a much better place to be than the other local options because curriculums elsewhere seemed to focus on softer subjects for girls – cooking and needlework and the like, whereas boys‘ schools did the hard stuff – Latin, Greek, rigorous mathematical training! Or that at least is what stuck in my head (a little cookery at that early age might actually have done me the world of good).”
“I had an older sister, Caroline, who was at WHS already and two years above me. We were both day girls – in at 7.45 am, out at 7 pm.”
