Lift Winton is a rapidly improving 11-16 school situated in Andover in the centre of Hampshire, a short commute from Winchester, Salisbury and many picturesque Hampshire villages.
We are a large secondary school (1031 students) and offer tailored learning opportunities and a creative curriculum which meets the needs of our whole school community.
Winton has many strengths and people who visit are always impressed with our outstanding students, excellent facilities and calm, purposeful learning environment.
Winton aims to provide an outstanding education for all of the local children. What we want is an outstanding Andover education system for Andover children. The vision needs to be that all three phases of education in Andover are all excellent. Winton is very much at the centre of this vision.
The most important part of any school is the quality of the teaching. When walking around the corridors at Winton you will see students engaged in their learning and being challenged to think. The expectation is to have a positive mindset, an 'I can...' attitude to their learning. Rather than thinking "I can't do", this students are encouraged to think 'I can't do this...yet'. Classrooms are positive because of the positive relationships between students and teaching staff. Expectations are high, with regular and meaningful homework and innovative and engaging classwork which embraces new ideas and new technologies.
Our Curriculum
Our vision for the delivery of a broad and balanced 11-19 curriculum is founded on the following key principles:
Students can progress at their own pace but with staff ensuring that there is always pace and challenge
Technologies e.g. ICT will be as available as electricity and seen as another utility, which will facilitate learning in different contexts;
Personalised learning will be a reality with a wide ranging curriculum, which provides far more choice and less prescription;
Learning experiences will be coherent, integrated and not fragmented with an emphasis on learning and skill acquisition and transferal;
The curriculum will develop lifelong learners who will be able to adapt to take up jobs in the future, which do not presently exist;
The curriculum will embrace wider curriculum opportunities that bring learning to life in vivid fashion;
The curriculum will reflect the values and beliefs outlined previously: personal development is integral to the outcomes of the curriculum and success measures for this curriculum.
Ofsted
Winton was recently inspected by Ofsted and for the second time running has been recognised as a “Good” school.
The report sets out how the school has high aspirations for all their pupils, preparing them for the next stages of life with a curriculum that is “relevant and ambitious.” Inspectors noted that staff at Winton appreciated leaders’ efforts to help manage workloads.
The school has also been praised for their decisive response to the challenges students face post-Covid, including forging positive relationships with pupils to better help their behaviour and personal development. The report recognises the efforts to create a healthy school culture, by creating a “strong system for support” that helps to improve all areas of school life. We warmly welcome any interested prospective candidates to come and see our school in person.
