[4] Winchmore council school was established in 1914 in Highfield Road for infants and juniors.

In 1956, the seniors moved to the newly established Winchmore School on the opposite side of Highfield Road.

It was initially called Winchmore Secondary Modern and its headmaster was Mr Shepherd.

[citation needed] In 2009 Tito Jackson visited the school and spoke to a group of students.

[7] Following this, Katherine Jackson gave a trophy to the school, which the headteacher awarded to a pupil who had "made a great contribution in every sphere of expressive arts".
