The science faculty is a supportive and thriving team who are a recent success story of our school. All three sciences are popular A level choices, leading to regular Oxbridge success.  Sciences are taught separately at GCSE level and also as part of trilogy science.  In years 10 and 11 teachers often only teach their specialism, but the willingness to teach the other disciplines will be an advantage.  

The Windsor Boys’ School teaches students from years 9-13 and has excellent results at GCSE and A level, being in the top 20% of schools for pupil progress.  We have a national reputation for sport, music and the creative arts, and uniquely are a centre of excellence for rowing. Our current Ofsted rating is good with an outstanding sixth form.

Teaching at The Windsor Boys’ School provides excellent opportunities for professional development and career enhancement through:

• A highly supportive and friendly working environment.
• Exceptional CPD through the trust’s teaching school alliance and our family of schools.
• Supportive parents and motivated students.
• A structured leadership development programme.
