JLT welcome

As the Junior Leadership Team, we would like to warmly welcome you to Wellfield Academy.

For many young people, the transition into secondary school can be an intimidating, nerve-wracking experience and having once been in that position ourselves, we understand how you may be feeling and would like to reassure you that those feelings are normal.

As JLT, one of our main priorities is to be a friendly face and an approachable presence for any students who may be finding any aspect of their school journey difficult and try to help as much as we possibly can so you can thrive within our school.

JLT  is committed to upholding our school motto of “Nothing But The Best” and try our very hardest to maintain our school values of aspirational, community centred and inclusive day-in-day-out in everything we do. We also encourage every student to also uphold the same standard when becoming a part of our school community.

JLT provides a strong network of young people who provide a genuine insight into our school, developing student and staff relationships and creating a trustworthy, caring environment.

In Wellfield, we view each student as an individual by providing a nurturing environment which allows your child to thrive and endeavor to be nothing but the best.

JLT are very excited to meet you all and welcome you into our school and we truly hope that you have the same fantastic experience that we have had, as members of Wellfield Academy.

 

 

Junior Leadership At Wellfield Academy

“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other” - John F Kennedy

At Wellfield, each year we take applications from our students in years 10 and 11 to become part or the Junior Leadership Team – this is an esteemed position within our school, and the team go on to work very closely with the Senior Leadership Team to ensure our student’s voices and opinions are heard. Our Junior Leadership Team and prefect team demonstrate the high values and standards for Wellfield students on a daily basis. These students are role models to their peers through their involvement in all aspects of school life.

JLT are junior leaders; it is vital that we have a strong team with positive ideas that can have an appropriate and meaningful impact on our school. 

Our Head students are fundamental; from ensuring that our JLT and prefect team work harmoniously together to going above and beyond within school and our wider community, our Head Students understand that strong leadership skills and the highest academic standards are needed to make Wellfield a nurturing environment that allows all students to make progress. We also have a number of Deputy Head Students and Senior Prefects.

The Prefect Team at Wellfield Academy

As well as our JLT, we have our prefect team; these students consistently demonstrate their passion and determination to make Wellfield a safe, welcoming environment. Prefects are actively involved in day-to-day duties wherein they model excellent standards and set high aspirations for all. You can recognise a prefect by their red tie – they play a huge role in the life of our school, and in particular, ensuring our new Year 7 students are welcomed and helped to settle in quickly
