Other Windsor Schools

Children are normally admitted to school at the start of the term in which they become five years of age and leave at the end of Year Four. The education and welfare of children within school strives to encourage all children to reach their full potential during their time there. Children need a breadth of experience so the school aims to ensure that they are aware of and involved with the wider community. This is achieved in various ways, with visits to school by people from various walks of life and by participation in out of school events and educational visits. In accordance with the Christian ethos, children are encouraged to think of others before themselves and to respect other people’s beliefs and religions even though these may be very different from their own. Families are encouraged to play an active part in the life of the school and to share in the education of their children.

The school history commenced in 1843 when Her Majesty Queen Victoria and Her Royal Consort, His Royal Highness, Prince Albert, decided that a school should be built to provide permanent provision for the education of the children of families in Her Majesty’s immediate service within The Great Park. It was hoped that ” being thus brought under the influence of sound religious training and education in its true meaning, that they may not be forced to trudge through weary life without the aid of intellectual implements and tools”.

Since the opening of The Royal School in July 1845, successive monarchs have continued to demonstrate a close interest in its development and in the well being of its pupils.
