Values and vision
Wellfield School’s motto is “Go the extra mile”. It is a learning community that aims for high achievement and success for all. The secondary school prides itself on being a happy and caring environment, an exciting centre of learning for the community, and a place where all children feel respected for their individual talents.
Wellfield School holds mathematics and computing specialist status. A recent £8.5m investment led to a rebuild of school premises.
Ofsted report
“The achievement of students is good and continues to improve rapidly because of the successful and relentless drive by governors and senior leaders to increase the proportion of good and outstanding teaching. There are excellent relationships between students and staff and this helps to build a purposeful environment for learners where all feel valued. Students feel safe and are very proud of their school.”
