Success and personal development are at the heart of the Windsor Sixth Form. It is therefore our aim when considering
applications to accept students onto a curriculum which will suit their learning style, encourage them to flourish academically
and support their transition in to adulthood. Judgements and offers will be made on an appropriate level of prior academic
achievement and a positive attitude/aptitude for learning.
Method of application
The Sixth Form prospectus and application form will be ready for distribution for the Sixth Form Open Evening to be held
in October. All current Windsor students will be invited and the event will be marketed locally and on the school website.
They will be specifically issued to:
- All current Yr11 Windsor students
- Students visiting from other education establishments
- Those making specific requests by contacting the school

Applications from students not currently studying in Yr11 at Windsor High School.
Each year a number of students will be able to join our Sixth Form who are not currently studying at Windsor. The
application process and entry requirements will be identical for both internal and external applicants.
Our admission number for external learners is 20. Where there is over-subscription, priority will be given as follows;
- Learners in the looked after system
- Siblings of pupils on the school role as of September 2010
- All other applicants
In the event of the school being over-subscribed in any of the above criteria, places will be offered to those living
nearest the school as measured in a direct line distance from home to the Sixth Form.
