Applied Learning Specialism

Windsor High School was given High Performing Specialist School Status in 2006. This enabled us to gain an additional specialism in Applied Learning.

As part of our plan to increase opportunities for students we significantly increased the applied learning curriculum programme and are able to offer students opportunities at the fore front of educational thinking and curriculum development.

Our curriculum offer includes a blend of academic, vocational and applied learning routes including:

  • BTEC Sport First Diploma
  • BTEC Business First Certificate
  • BTEC Retail First Certificate
  • BTEC Travel & Tourism First Certificate
  • BTEC Media Studies
  • BTEC Skills For Working Life
  • BTEC Applied Science
  • GCSE Additional Applied Science
  • GCSE Double Applied Science
  • Applied GCSE Health & Social Care
  • OCR Nationals in ICT
  • Alongside 20 GCSE subjects

We have also been successful in our Gateway 1, 2 and 3 submissions to be one of the first schools in the country to offer students the new Diplomas in

  • Society Health & Development
  • Creative and Media
  • IT
  • Hair and Beauty
  • Hospitality
  • Business, Administration and Finance

We work with other training providers and employers in the local area to provide opportunities for extended work experience, training in construction and motor vehicle skills and to enhance the vocational experiences in many of our curriculum areas.

Functional Skills in English, Maths and IT and additional qualifications such as Health and Safety at Work ensure our students meet the demands and can be successful as they progress to the world of work as well as further education and training opportunities.
