Windsor Girls School

What Windsor Girls School does

Windsor Girls' School is a UK state-funded secondary school located in Windsor, Berkshire, serving girls aged 13-18 (Years 9-13). Founded in 1920 as Windsor County Girls' School, it operates as an academy within the Windsor Learning Partnership, a multi-academy trust that governs six schools in the Windsor area. The school delivers single-sex education for Years 9-11 (GCSE preparation) and shares a co-educational Sixth Form with The Windsor Boys' School, offering over 30 A-Level and BTEC subjects to approximately 400 students aged 16-18 across both campuses.

The school is funded by the UK government through the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) via the Windsor Learning Partnership, with no tuition fees charged to students. Ancillary revenue is generated through optional services (school trips, catering, uniform purchases) and facility hire to the local community via a partnership with Vivify Venues. The school's technology stack is standard for UK secondary schools and includes ParentPay for payments, Satchel One for homework management, Microsoft Office 365 for productivity, Seneca Learning and GCSE Pod for revision, the OLIVER library system, Unifrog and PIXL for careers and progression planning, and Matomo for website analytics. There are no proprietary AI or technology features.

The school's competitive positioning rests on its century-long heritage (centenary celebrated in 2021), strong academic outcomes (89% of Year 13 students progress to higher education; sixth form results consistently in the top 15-25% nationally), and enrichment programmes such as the Duke of Edinburgh Award (largest provider in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead) and the Aspiring High programme, which partners with Eton College and Oxford University to support applications to elite universities. Leadership is provided by Executive Headteacher Mrs J Davies (overseeing both The Windsor Boys' School and Windsor Girls' School) and Head of School Mr B Garner.

Broad incumbents

• Eton College: Prestigious independent boys' school located in Windsor itself. Comparable by geography and is an explicit partner through WGS's Aspiring High programme, but operates a fundamentally different fee-paying boarding model.

Direct peers

• Reading Girls' School: Single-sex state secondary school for girls in Reading, Berkshire. Directly comparable on single-sex model, state-funded status, GCSE/A-Level curriculum and South-East England catchment.
• Churchmead CofE School: State secondary school in Datchet near Windsor, also serving the RBWM area. Closely comparable on model (state secondary, similar intake), competing for the same local student pool.
• The Windsor Boys' School: Same Windsor Learning Partnership multi-academy trust, shares the Executive Headteacher and jointly operates the Windsor Schools' Sixth Form across both sites — the most directly comparable peer on geography, governance, curriculum and shared sixth form.

Regional players

• St Mary's School, Ascot: Independent girls' school located in Ascot, Berkshire — directly comparable as a single-sex secondary serving the same affluent Thames Valley catchment, but operating on a fee-paying model rather than state-funded.
• Holyport College: State-funded secondary school in Holyport, Maidenhead — directly comparable RBWM-area state secondary competing for similar Year 9 and Sixth Form intake.
