Welbourne Primary School is a mixed 3-11 state-maintained primary school situated in
South Tottenham in the London Borough of Haringey. Tottenham Hale’s tube, over ground
train and bus terminus and South Tottenham over ground railway station are all within a
short walking distance.

The school has two forms of entry and has many strengths to be proud of. We have a wide
diversity of ethnic, linguistic, and faith backgrounds in the school, and this provides a
tremendously rich culture. As a community primary school, our intake consists of a broad
ability range including children with special educational needs and very able, gifted and
talented pupils.

The school serves a community of high economic disadvantage.
Visitors are invariably impressed with our calm, happy and positive atmosphere in the
school. Pupils are respectful and well behaved. There is a wonderful ethos in the school
enjoyed by all and it enables children to make excellent all-round progress. The pupils are a
delight to work with and are highly appreciative of the efforts made by staff. Our children
really enjoy school and are proud to be part of the Welbourne family.
We are looking for an exceptional, committed leader with a proven record in educational
leadership to share our ambition and strategic vision to build upon the Ofsted inspection of
June 2023. The report graded the quality of education, personal development and early
years provision as good.
Our future Headteacher will have strong leadership skills and be able to manage the
demands of an inner-city primary school. The school has a strong, motivated, and dedicated
team of teaching and support staff, committed to ensuring high achievement and equality
of opportunity for all.
The role is suitable for an experienced leader who is looking for a second headship or an
experienced deputy capable of meeting the challenges of the post. Governors have high
expectations for the school. The new Headteacher will benefit from:

 Enthusiastic and well-behaved pupils who want to learn and take part in all aspects
of school life.
 Staff who are committed to providing the best possible education for the pupils.
 A diverse school population.
 Parents and a local community who are extremely positive about the school.
 A supportive and experienced governing body.
 The possibility of developing the existing school buildings.
 Membership of the highly regarded Haringey Education Partnership who provide a
wide range of support for local schools. https://haringeyeducationpartnership.co.uk
