Windsor High School and Sixth Form Dudley

“Excellence for all”

Windsor High School and Sixth Form is an 11 to 18 comprehensive school in Halesowen - and Windsor Academy Trust’s founding school. We are committed to delivering the very best education for all of our students. We are a school built on traditional values and our ethos and beliefs are evident in “The Windsor Way”, which celebrates the twin tenets of respect and responsibility. We strive for our students to have a love of learning, and gain the knowledge, skills and attributes to be successful in the world of work. Equally, we endeavour for our students to be good human beings, with a sense of purpose and character, enabling them to flourish in life.

A Global Community of Schools

In 2022, Windsor High School and Sixth Form became part of a select group of global schools by joining the Schools: Partners for the Future (PASCH) initiative.

The school is one of only 12 schools in the UK and the first within the West Midlands to join the PASCH initiative, which connects young people worldwide through its network of 2,000 schools across 100 countries.

The initiative, which the German Federal Foreign Office launched in 2008, was founded to create and strengthen a global network of partner schools that have special links to Germany. The PASCH initiative has further expanded our cultural education and provides extraordinary opportunities for our students. This includes summer schools, placements with world-leading companies and the chance to study at German universities through a PASCH scholarship. A ceremony to mark the occasion was held at Windsor High School and Sixth Form with representatives from the German Embassy, Goethe-Institut, the Mayor of Dudley and Windsor Academy Trust CEO Dawn Haywood attending. The ceremony included dance, music and poetry performances from students, as well as speeches from two Windsor alumni; Isobel Cooper, currently studying at Oxford University, and Chadsley Atkins who works for PwC. They spoke about their time here at Windsor studying German, and how it has helped them in their career paths.
