The Governors are seeking to appoint a new substantive, enthusiastic and inspirational Headteacher who has a clear vision, strong leadership and energy to build upon the school’s achievements.

Whether you are an experienced Head Teacher or a Deputy Head Teacher with leadership experience, we welcome all applicants.

Winsor is a happy and vibrant school located in Beckton, in the London Borough of Newham. We are a dynamic and supportive three-form entry, maintained school providing children aged 3 to 11 with a robust and rigorous education. We are proud of the extensive range of wider opportunities we offer which enrich the lives of our young people.  

Our school motto is ‘Be the difference’. We would like to invite applicants from experienced leaders who can continue to inspire our young people. An Ofsted inspection in March 2023 identified that “Winsor Primary School continues to be a good school”. We aim to create an environment that is purposeful, inclusive and engaging at the heart of our culturally rich and diverse community. 

Winsor is a place where children grow into resourceful, independent learners; a school where children develop a thirst for learning which will stay with them throughout their lives. 

If you would like to shape the next phase of Winsor’s history, then we would like to meet you. I encourage you to make a visit to the school if you are able. For more information about our school, its pupils, and the curriculum, please visit our website.
