While most Berkshire schools operate on a two-tier system, with pupils entering secondary school at age 11, Windsor & Maidenhead LEA uses the three-tier system – hence the 13+ entry.
Windsor Girls’ School (WGS) was founded in 1920 as an independent school. It later became a grammar and turned comprehensive in the 1970s, while retaining its grammar school feel – as evidenced by results.
WGS held Business & Enterprise specialist status and was rated outstanding by Ofsted in 2014. In 2016, 85.1% of GCSE students achieved five or more A*- Cs including English and maths. A level pass rate was 100% (66% A*-B), with most girls going on to top universities.
