WINNERS 2025! Congratulations to our School Football Team who have won the Johnson Trophy! The team played brilliantly and we are so proud of you all! The game ended 3-3 after extra time but we won 2-1 in the penalty shoot out! Well done again to every single one of you who have been a part of the team this year!

Congratulations to two of our Wellfield children, Ellie and Rhys for being super gospel value ambassadors and supporting a cause that means a great deal to them. Both children have made it into the local paper for raising money for the Cornish Seal Sanctuary by selling their precious teddies and toys.

What a kind and caring thing to do children! Well done - we are very proud of you.

Huge WELL DONE to the Wellfield Year 5/6  Football Team who beat Whittlefield in the Johnson Cup group match on Tuesday afternoon. With local pride at stake, our children played their hearts out and emerged victorious with a resounding 6-1 win. Goals from Mione, Oliver G, Oscar and a hat trick from Joey Ramone alongside excellent performances from Oliver M, Ethan, Max, Arthur and Zach ensured the outcome of the game was never in doubt. The sportmanship seen by everyone was excellent and we are all very proud of each and everyone of you. Well done!

A 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!

 

It 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 1^st and 2^nd 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!
