23rd January 2025

We are delighted to share that Windsor Academy Trust has been featured in a prestigious global case study for Apple, celebrating our innovative use of technology through the EmpowerED Digital Strategy. This recognition is a significant milestone for our family of schools, showcasing the incredible work of our schools and staff on a global stage.

Today, at BETT 2025, the Europe’s leading education technology event, attracting over 30,000 attendees across Europe, our CEO, Dawn Haywood, joined Apple’s Dominic Liechti, Senior Director of Worldwide Product Marketing, for an inspiring fireside chat to discuss our partnership. Together, they highlighted how the EmpowerED Digital Strategy is transforming education for our 10,000 students and 1,300 staff. This moment, alongside the launch of our case study, positions Windsor Academy Trust as a national leader in education innovation.

Empowering Schools, Transforming Lives

The Apple case study celebrates the incredible work of the entire WAT Family and features contributions from Rivers Primary Academy, Goldsmith Primary Academy, and Windsor High School and Sixth Form on behalf of all schools within Windsor Academy Trust.

For Goldsmith Primary Academy and Windsor High School and Sixth Form, this recognition builds on their proud status as Apple Distinguished Schools, further cementing their roles as trailblazers in digital education.

This achievement highlights how the EmpowerED Digital Strategy is making a transformative impact across the Trust by:

  • For our students: Unlocking academic and personal potential by equipping them with future-ready skills through innovative technology.
  • For our staff: Reducing workload and enabling teachers to focus on delivering exceptional learning experiences.

This recognition is a reflection of the hard work, collaboration, and innovation demonstrated by all our schools and central team, showcasing the power of what we can achieve together as a family.
