Mrs. Willamina Webster was the headteacher at Hollyoaks Comprehensive School (later Hollyoaks High School) between circa 2005 and 2008.
In May 2005, teacher Becca Dean appealed student Justin Burton's exclusion by headteacher Mrs. Webster. In May 2006, Becca was accused of having an affair with Justin. When Becca returned to the school in June, Mrs. Webster called her to her office and asked her about the allegations made. Becca confessed so Mrs. Webster suspended her and reported her to the police.
In July 2006, Mrs. Webster held a formal meeting with Becca, and informed her that the staff disciplinary committee reached a unanimous decision to terminate Becca's contract, effective immediately. Mrs. Webster also informed Becca that, as her contract was with the Local Education Authority, no school within the area would be able to hire Becca.
In 2007, Mrs. Webster supported Nancy Hayton when she struggled in school following the murder of Becca, and again when Nancy was accused of sexual harassment. Mrs. Webster's son, Pete, worked as the head of the careers department, and sexually harassed Tina McQueen before trying to force himself on her. Tina was sacked but with help from Jacqui McQueen, they exposed Pete and Mrs. Webster was horrified at what her son had been doing.
In February 2008, Mrs. Webster introduced spot checks of the school lockers, following Michaela McQueen's drug overdose. She almost discovered Fletch's drugs in his locker, but the fire alarm was activated, stopping her from finding them. In June, she caught Josh Ashworth and Michaela cheating on their coursework and suspended them for a week. Later, Sasha Valentine and Jamie tried to sell Mrs. Webster's laptop for drug money, but they were caught by Sasha's half-sister Lauren Valentine and were forced to return it. In November 2008, Mrs. Webster departed from Hollyoaks High and was replaced by Govinda Roy.
