Widening Horizons
Enabling Excellence

Welcome

I am incredibly proud to be the Headteacher of such an amazing school.

The Winstanley School is a small school of 640 students at the heart of the Braunstone Town community. We are part of the LiFE MAT Academy Trust and work closely with the schools in the trust. We have especially close links with Kingsway Primary School who are also located on Kingsway North. We are very proud that the SHINE Centre (a 15 place SEMH Specialist Provision) is part of our school. We have become the school of choice in the area and are now oversubscribed and have had to expand our intake to ensure that students are able to join our thriving community.

SCHOOL CLOSED TODAY (Friday, 9th January 2026)

Due to the inclement weather conditions overnight, Mr Bennett has made the difficult decision to close the school today.

Although roads around Braunstone are currently passable, a number of our staff travel from areas that have been affected by the overnight snowfall and may be unable to travel into school safely. As a result, we do not feel that we would have sufficient staffing levels for the school to run effectively today.

Students should use the day to continue their learning at home where possible.
Year 11 students should focus on revision tasks that are available on the Year 11 Revision Google Classroom.
All other year groups should ensure that any other outstanding Independent Study is completed.
