Welcome
Welcome from the Headteacher
Welcome to Windsor Sixth Form.
Windsor Sixth Form is open to current students as well as to students from other establishments. We have a reputation for academic excellence that is very much a part of our Sixth Form ethos.
We begin each year with a residential as part of the induction and our focus is on maximum academic achievement, combined with a wide range of extra-curricular, leadership and social activities.
The Sixth Form facilities are first class and have impressed all who have seen them. Current students are delighted, reflecting on the “University atmosphere”. These facilities are backed up by excellent teachers and subject specialists who are totally committed to ensuring that they get the best from their students.
Most importantly, we have small group sizes to allow for a personal approach and individualised learning. This allows each student to get to know their teachers extremely well and helps to build quality learning relationships.
A key feature of our Sixth Form is the extension of our collaboration between student, parent and school, which we know is the foundation for success.
Our assessment and reporting schedule is designed to keep parents fully informed and in touch with all aspects of student progress.
We are proud of what we have to offer and believe that the quality environment and teaching will ensure a fantastic Sixth Form experience for students.

Welcome from the Academic Director of Sixth Form
The Sixth Form offers students from Windsor, Halesowen and the surrounding area, the chance to benefit from the excellent teaching upon which the school prides itself in a vibrant environment that encourages academic achievement and social development.
Every September, we are delighted to welcome our own Year 11 students and students from numerous other schools into Windsor Sixth Form. We provide a supportive and challenging environment in which students are able to flourish. We are a thriving, friendly and supportive community. Our students have a wide variety of different aspirations. We pride ourselves on the support we offer to each individual to maximise their potential as well as develop their self-confidence and belief.
The majority of our students aspire to study at university. Their chosen degree courses are wide-ranging including areas such as law, sciences and the performing arts. Students are also supported to secure positions in employment or apprenticeships. Life at Windsor Sixth Form is not just about academic success; it is also about developing as a person. Extra-curricular activities and leadership roles, alongside a broad tutorial and enrichment programme as well as work experience, enable our students to become well-rounded and confident individuals.
It is with pride, every year, that we celebrate the success of our Sixth Form students at Windsor. We look forward to their future successes and to welcoming them back to inspire future generations. I hope the prospectus will give you a flavour of life in our Sixth Form and we very much look forward to meeting you at our open evening, where you will be able to see the range of opportunities available to our students.
Mr J Leathem-Pugh
Academic Director of Sixth Form
