About Windsor High School and Sixth Form

Windsor High School and Sixth Form is a large state secondary in Dudley, operating above its official capacity with 1,760 pupils against a stated capacity of 1,700. The school serves a community with above-average economic disadvantage: 27.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national secondary average of around 23%. Demand is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 695 applications for 287 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.42, with 284 of those applications coming as first preferences. Of those, 259 first-preference offers were made, meaning the school is heavily oversubscribed and families need to rank it highly to stand a chance. The school is non-denominational and mixed, taking pupils from age 11 through to 18, with a dedicated sixth form centre on site.
