The Winstanley School is a mixed secondary school located in Braunstone in the English county of Leicestershire.

The school specialises in sports, and a range of sporting and community facilities have been developed to support the specialism.

The school celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2012, along with the celebration of the Olympics that year. The school also converted to academy status in 2012.
