Strode’s College is part of The Windsor Forest Colleges Group alongside Windsor College, Slough & Langley College and BCA (Berkshire College of Agriculture) in Maidenhead.
Strode’s was founded in 1704, when Henry Strode bequeathed £6,000 to set up a free school in his native parish of Egham. In the twentieth century, Strode’s became a boys’ grammar school, before being designated a sixth form college in 1975.
The Windsor Forest Colleges Group was formed in 2017 as a result of a merger between East Berkshire College and Strode’s College in Egham, and later in 2022 a merger with BCA (Berkshire College of Agriculture). Together we have over 300 years of experience and the group provides over 900 full-time, part-time and apprenticeship courses in various subjects, from entry level through to Higher Education.
Our students predominately identify with one particular college campus, but being part of a larger college group means they benefit from greater learning opportunities, access to a wider range of resources and more progression routes.
We are really proud of our students, our staff and everything that we achieve together, as our results have demonstrated the high standards at our colleges that meet the aspirations of our talented students. We believe that all of our students have amazing potential and that it’s our job to work with you to unlock that potential. We want you to aspire to be the best you can be – and we will do everything we can to help you achieve your ambitions. Come and find out for yourself at our Open Days and feel the amazing Sixth Form spirit at Strode’s and Windsor.
We are immensely proud of our students’ exam results and of the 100% success for our six Oxbridge candidates (2022). We have been delighted to see our students engaging with opportunities to enhance their studies through incredible trips to add context to their programme and encounters with visiting speakers and industry experts. We pride ourselves at Strode’s and Windsor on offering that perfect balance of independence and support, helping you to develop the skills needed for university, further study, higher apprenticeships or employment while providing a guiding hand as needed to help you succeed.
