A warm welcome to Woodmansterne Primary School and thank you for the interest you have shown in our wonderful, creative school.
 

If you're looking for a school where your career can grow, where you'll be supported as well as challenged and with all the facilities and resources you need  then look no further.  

After our amazing staff team and fabulous pupils, our grounds are our best feature.  They are extensive and kitted out with all sorts of facilities, outdoor classrooms and more to help bring learning to life and engage the pupils as well as being used extensively for sports and letting off steam! 

Our pupils are well behaved and enthusiastic.  We have a set of school values which permeate throughout the school based on respect, responsibility, resilience and reflection - visitors often comment on how polite our pupils are.

Woodmansterne staff are proud to work here and we'd love to show you the school in action and chat through options for your next steps.  There's nothing like visiting the school to get that feeling of whether it's the right fit for you so please get in touch if you'd like to come and see us.  We have a talent pool system in place for candidates so even if we don't yet have a suitable vacancy for you please do register so we can let you know if anything comes up.

If you have any questions please give us a call or email the school on school@wps.org.uk.  We look forward to hearing from you.

We are based in Banstead in Surrey on the borders of Sutton and Coulsdon. Set in fantastic, spacious grounds, we have great facilities throughout. Our most recent Ofsted (November 2016) judged us to be a good school. Woodmansterne is part of the Bourne Education Trust which offers staff fantastic opportunities to share expertise and training as well as varied career opportunities.

SCITT (School Centred Initial Teacher Training)

We have a wealth of experience in supporting and developing student teachers and NQTs and have dedicated mentors on site. If you have secured a place on the SCITT programme via the tuition fee route and are looking for a placement school to host you, please get in touch with our Head Teacher to discuss via school@wps.org.uk

Bourne Education Trust (‘BET’) was established in 2011 and has grown steadily since then. It is largely Surrey based, but has also expanded into Hampshire and Richmond. It is made up of 21 academies, 4 associate schools and one free school due to open in September 2024. Of its 26 schools, 14 are primaries, 9 are secondaries, and, with the new free school, 3 are specialist schools. It is responsible for the education of approximately 12,500 pupils and employs just over 1,300 staff. The Trust is organised into both phases and clusters to support collaboration.

The size of its schools ranges from a one-form entry primary to an eight-form entry secondary school with a sixth form. Schools are equally important and carry the same influence in terms of decision-making within the Trust. Each school has its own Head and Local Governing Committee. The Trust is led by Alex Russell, Kate Sanders, Rob Isaac and Penny Alford.
