Windsor School, Germany
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Windsor school is situated in Germany in the British Military complex JHQ (Joint Headquarters). It is part of SCE (Service Children's Education) and is one of four English secondary schools situated in Germany.
Windsor School opened in September 1987 with the merging of of two long established Service Children’s Schools; Queen’s School, JHQ and Kent School which was in Hostert.
Windsor School remains in the same grounds and building as the former Queens school but has received upgrades to its building, such as an expansion to its West wing.
At its height Windsor School catered for over 1000 students from Military personnel. However, due to the disbandment of the British Army of the Rhine in 1995 and related military drawdowns since, Windsor now caters for an average of 650 students.
Catering for 11 to 19 year olds, Windor School is situated on Snyders Roads, JHQ. Its Students are a mix of daily pupils from the JHQ barracks, pupils bussed in from nearby MOD settlements and weekly and Full-Term boarders accommodated within its own boarding house, known as Windsor House, located on the school campus.
The school operates much like any normal British civilian facility and follows UK curricular guidelines and is subject to Ofsted reporting.
