Windrush Primary School is a mainstream academy school for children aged 3-11, situated in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, London. In September 2012, Windrush Primary School expanded, opening a second site in Charlton to add to the Thamesmead site. Ninety Reception pupils were welcomed to the Charlton school, and 90 pupils now join in each year.
Although Windrush Primary School is split across two sites, both hold dear to the same values and high expectations. In 2013, Ofsted rated the school as outstanding, a status it has held since 2007.

Ofsted report
“The aspirational leaders and managers, including governors, have secured high achievement for pupils and outstanding teaching over many years. These continue to improve as the school expands. Standards in reading, writing and mathematics are well above those of most schools nationally. All pupils make exceptional progress, many from starting points which are low. Teaching and learning are outstanding. Parents and carers at both sites are unanimous in their praise of the school.”
