Windsor Girls' School


Windsor Girls' School is an upper school for girls aged 13–18 in Windsor, Berkshire, England.

It previously held Business & Enterprise specialist status and was rated "good, with outstanding features" by Ofsted inspectors in 2010. In 2014, the school was rated outstanding. Its partner school is The Windsor Boys' School.

History

WGS was originally Windsor County Girls' School, an independent school, during the inter-war period, founded in 1920, and later Windsor County Grammar School for Girls during the era of the tripartite system. It turned comprehensive during the 1970s when the system was abolished.
