Having spent (some of) my formative years at Westminster, I am pretty sure that is not it! (Will be suitably embarrassed if I am wrong).

I agree with some others that it looks more neoGothic than Gothic, so perhaps not one of the ancient public schools but a substantial 19thC one?  Or at least one which was developed a lot at that time?

Could well be Exeter cathedral. It's clean now but the window and butress is the same.

Have you got a picture of the relevant part of Exeter Cathedral?  I can see a window with similarities, but the design is quatrefoil rather than cinquefoil (and not two such windows next to one another).

Thanks for the suggestions. I, too, think the building is neo-Gothic (see first post) and agree that it looks like a cloister. I worried that some of the boys were too young for a traditional House group, although they may just look young.

I'll try to post a higher scan of the trophy but that will have to be tomorrow.

Here's a relevant crop of windows and butress with statue to orientate. Cathedral Church of St Peter.

The general format of this is similar,though obviously not the location!
