Girls Football Team Success
Fri 23 Feb 2024A HUGE well done to our Yr5/6 Girls' Football Team who have finished top of their group in the Burnley School's Girls Football Tournament and progressed through to the next round.
The girls played both their group matches last night against Casterton Primary School and Hapton Primary School.
The first match of the evening against Casterton was a tough affair however the girls dug deep and won the match 2-0 with goals from Mione and Chloe. The whole team defended well and Isabella did superb as our stand-in goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet.
In the second match, the girls really found their rhythm and ran out victorious with another goal from Mione and a hatrick from Chloe. The girls all played fantastic with Pippa and Sophie being the rocks in defence and Alana making a couple of great saves. In midfield, Ava and Mione played some fantastic football with Georgia, Kiera and Isabella always giving them an outlet whenever they needed it. Up front, Chloe ran her socks off and got her rewards by scoring 3 fantastic goals.
All the girls represented Wellfield perfectly with fantastic sportwomanship shown at all times. I am really proud of them all. Well done girls!
Watch out for news on our next round fixture!

We're a GOOD School!!
Thu 30 Nov 2023It gives me great pleasure and an immense feeling of pride to inform you about our latest Ofsted inspection report (link to the report below).
As you know the Section 5 inspection took place on 1st and 2nd November 2023. There were two inspectors present over the two days.
It was concluded that we are now officially, ‘a Good school’, and they rated us solidly good in every category assessed, with three of the five areas (Behaviour and Attitudes, Early Years Foundation Stage and Personal Development) nearly being outstanding. Safeguarding was found to be effective and the strategies and practices of the Designated Safeguarding Leads and Pastoral Team were found to be exceptional. As a result of the above grades, we have been encouraged by the inspectors to now start our journey towards excellence.
The inspectors were extremely impressed with what they saw in and around school, and they affirmed the strengths in our school and our capacity to continue to further enhance the whole education that we provide for all of our children, and the wider care for our families and community. It was lovely to hear of the inspectors’ recognition of our sheer determination, and hard work over recent years and their use of words such as meticulous, relentless and exemplary was certainly high praise, and made us very proud of our children, staff, community and school as a whole.
They commented that, ‘the school has successfully overhauled the quality of education that pupils receive’ and this was backed up by our upward trend of KS1 and KS2 results alongside our now outstanding progress measures right across reading, writing and mathematics. They acknowledged the hard work that has gone into ensuring that all our pupils, including those with SEND, now access the same ambitious curriculum and are supported proficiently so that they all achieve well.
This is a milestone moment for us. The fact that we are now in a position where nearly every aspect of our school has been praised by Ofsted and SIAMS, and the ‘Room for Improvement’ grading has been removed, reflects the conscientiousness and amazing character of our children, staff and Governing Body, as well as the positive impact of the support provided by parents and carers for children within our school. It is therefore, extremely important that I once again, acknowledge and thank you profusely for your continued backing and positive engagement with school.
Please do take time to read the attached inspection report as it not only explains the progress made since our last full inspection but outlines the next steps for our school as well.
In conclusion, all that remains for me to say is that I am immensely proud to be Headteacher at Wellfield Methodist & Anglican Church School. I am equally proud of the inspection outcome and the support of everyone within our little community that makes Wellfield what it is – JUST AMAZING!

SIAMS Inspection Outcome
Sun 01 Oct 2023On behalf of the Governing Board of Wellfield Methodist & Anglican Church School, we are delighted to share the results of an inspection that took place a couple of weeks ago – a Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS). In a similar way to Ofsted, all Church of England and Methodist schools are visited regularly to evaluate the key questions: Who are we as a school? What are we doing here? How, then, shall we live and learn together? By understanding these questions, the new SIAMS Framework highlights and seeks understanding of the theology that underpins a school’s Christian vision. This is a brand new Framework that came into force last September and makes it far more challenging for schools to achieve a positive judgment overall.
I am thrilled to say that we have received a wonderful report which we should all be very proud of as a school community. ‘Through its vision and practice, the school is living up to its foundation as a Church school and is enabling pupils and adults to flourish.’ Many areas of the Framework were found to be ‘exceptional or impressive’ and the inspector clearly identified that we are enabling all our children to flourish! It was also so lovely to read the phrase, 'truly reciprocal church school partnerships form a flourishing community as they ‘watch over one another in love’' – we feel that this captures exactly how our nurturing school vision was always intended.
Our wonderful ethos and environment is thanks to the energy, skills and commitment of our whole school community – staff, parents, children, governors, the Churches and wider community. It is a huge team effort and we feel very fortunate to be part of such a supportive and caring ‘family’. There is also clearly a great deal of work that goes on behind the scenes to ensure that our children receive and will continue to receive the best education and wider opportunities.
Thank you all for your continued support and commitment to our school journey.
