Welcome to Windsor Girls’- an inclusive school steeped in local history and a school at the heart of the local community. This is a very special place, where girls are valued and cared for; they flourish as individuals and leave qualified, skilled and enthused to embrace the next stage of their lives. It is our firm belief that young people have one decent chance of obtaining an outstanding education; a chance that must never be taken for granted. The Windsor Girls’ community shares a relentless determination to deliver a first-class education. Our priorities include ensuring that every learner journeys through an ambitious curriculum that helps them to discover and nurture their talents, knowledge and skills. We seek to equip our students with the confidence to aim high, the motivation to work hard and succeed, and to grab opportunities wherever possible. This is captured through our school values: aspire, advance and achieve ; values that underpin everything we strive to be and do. As Head of Geography, your contribution to our team will be vital in enabling us to deliver our aims. We are excited about what you can offer us, and in turn what we can offer you.
