Contents 1 The school 2 The library 3 Careers library 4 Physical education 5 References The school Windsor High School is a comprehensive school in Halesowen, West Midlands. It is among the largest schools in the region, with capacity for 1,600 pupils aged 11 to 18[1] and is heavily over-subscribed.[2] The number of admissions for the year commencing 1 September 2007 was 280, which became the approved admissions number[citation needed]. The school has been awarded Artsmark Gold and Sportsmark Gold as well as the National Achievement Award for Improvement in Examinations in recent years.[citation needed] Windsor High School is currently one of the top schools in Dudley LEA. It is currently ranked 3rd in Dudley, behind Old Swinford Hospital and Bishop Milner Catholic School[citation needed]. In 2005 65% of pupils at the school achieved 5 A*-C grades in their GCSEs. This was topped further by the following year of pupils in 2006/2007, where 90% of pupils achieved an A* grade, this is yet to be achieved by any other academic college, and boosts Windsor's positioning in the Midland school ranking into number 2.[1] The school was erected during the 1930s by Worcestershire County Council as Halesowen County Secondary Modern Boys' School - a secondary modern school. Girls living in the local area attended nearby Halesowen County Secondary Modern Girls' School. During the late 1960s and early 1970s the school was known as the Halesowen County Secondary School for Boys (HCSSB) or more colloquially simply as 'The Boys' School'. The school colours were maroon and yellow. In September 1972, the schools became "Richmond Boys' School" and "Walton Girls' School", initially as secondary modern schools providing education for pupils aged 13–18 years following a reorganisation of education in Halesowen which saw a switch to three-tier schooling. A reorganisation in September 1982 saw both schools convert to 11-16 age range, with the sixth form being abolished in favour of a move to tertiary education which saw all of Halesowen's post 16 education facilities incorporated into an expanded Halesowen College. In September 1983, the first "Windsor High School" pupils joined, co-existing with the pupils from last two years of Richmond High School for Boys. Windsor High School came into full existence in September 1985 when the two single-sex schools fully merged into one mixed comprehensive, after this period of dual-school name. This marked the end of single sex state schools in the Dudley borough; all the other remaining single sex schools had been axed in July 1975 to make way for mixed comprehensives from September of that year. The new school existed entirely on the site of the boys' school, though with substantial extensions. In the early 1990s Windsor High became a Grant Maintained school. The Walton site on Bundle Hill was taken over by Halesowen College, who used it as an annexe until July 2003. It was demolished shortly afterwards and replaced by a housing estate. A sixth form centre opened at Windsor High in September 2010 - marking a return of sixth form facilities in Halesowen secondary schools after an absence of nearly 30 years.

  "Livin' la Vida Loca" Livin' la vida loca cover.png Single by Ricky Martin from the album Ricky Martin Released March 23, 1999 Format 12" CD maxi CD cassette Recorded 1998 Genre Latin pop dance-pop Length 4:03 Label Columbia Songwriter(s) Robi Rosa Desmond Child Luis Gómez Escolar Producer(s) Desmond Child Robi Rosa Ricky Martin singles chronology "Corazonado" (1999) "Livin' la Vida Loca" (1999) "She's All I Ever Had" (1999) Music videos "Livin' la Vida Loca" "Livin' La Vida Loca" (Spanish Ver.) on YouTube "Livin' la Vida Loca" is a number-one hit song by Ricky Martin. It was released on March 23, 1999, from Martin's self-titled debut English-language album (he had previously released several albums in Spanish). The song was composed by Desmond Child and Draco Rosa. La vida loca is Spanish for "the crazy life." "Livin' la Vida Loca" is generally seen as the song that began the Latin pop explosion that followed and made the transition of other Spanish-speaking artists (first Enrique Iglesias and Marc Anthony and then later Shakira and Paulina Rubio) into the English-speaking market easier. Before this time, most non-Latino Americans had never heard of Martin until what CNN reported was a show-stopping performance of "La Copa de la Vida" at the 41st Grammy Awards show, which became a catalyst in bringing Latin pop to the forefront of the U.S. music scene.[1] "Livin' la Vida Loca" sold over 8 million copies, making it one of the best selling singles of all time. The song received various Grammy Awards nominations and Ricky Martin obtain enormous success inside the United States and worldwide. In 2007, the song was ranked at number 28 on the list of 100 Greatest Songs of the 90's by VH1.[2] It is Martin's signature song and still maintains a cult following. Martin performed the song on second series of The Voice Australia with fellow judges Delta Goodrem, Joel Madden and Seal.

  I was recently told by a friend that the best hotel in the area was windsor (ahead of earls) so I packed my bags and visited as soon as I could. However I soon realised that the staff were very rude upon my arrival. One of the receptionists even told me to tuck my shirt in. Anyway after that i was soon shown to my room. However the room was packed with schoolchildren and there seemed to be no place to sleep or pack away my clothes. I became very confused as I told the receptionist that there must of been some sort of mistake, however this time she threatened to "report" me unless I went back to my room. This was very worrying. I asked where the toilets were and she directed me to a public toilet that was shared by the whole hotel, a rather disgusting way to run a hotel indeed. On my second day I was roaming the grounds of the hotel when a certain mr morley approached me, he then started interrogating me with random questions such as "where are your school shoes?" and "what lesson are you supposed to be in?" These questions disgraced me and I ordered to see the manager however I was denied to do so. The dining experience overall was lacklustre and was more like school dinners than fresh cuisine, also the "cafe" was packed with more of these schoolchildren which I found odd as it was supposed to be a romantic quite dining hall. Also there seemed to be no waiters/waitresses only "dinnerladiez" Overall I would discourage anyone from visiting this terrible hotel.

  Got sent here on a graduate teacher programme and the headteacher got rid of me within a week. When I went to the nasuwt they said he does it to everyone. Awful place for teachers when the head is such a despot.
