Microsoft Showcase Schools
Celebrating Four Years as a Microsoft Showcase School!
We are thrilled to announce that Sir Thomas Boughey has achieved Microsoft Showcase School status for the fourth consecutive year this year – a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence in education.
As part of Windsor Academy Trust, we strive to equip our young people with the employability and life skills they need to succeed both in our academies and beyond through our EmpowerEd Strategy. Each school within our trust has its own unique identity, but we share a deep belief in the transformational power of technology to shape futures and expand opportunities.
Being a Microsoft Showcase School places us in an exclusive global community of educators recognised for driving educational transformation through research-based approaches and Microsoft tools.
