Headteacher’s Welcome
At Wellfield Academy, our mantra is ‘Nothing but the Best’ and this permeates everything that we do for all students in our care. We value our responsibilities and, at Wellfield, nothing less than our own individual, personal best will do. We work as a team and we want the best for every student in our care.
Wellfield is an ambitious and thriving school which is growing year on year. Situated in the heart of Leyland and a proud part of Endeavour Learning Trust, one of our many strengths is our community spirit and family feel which is genuinely tangible. Each student is known as an individual and supported by key staff, as well as being challenged to be the best they can be. At Wellfield, we believe that every child should be treated as we would want our own children to be. As a result, our students feel safe and valued in an environment where we find the right balance between support and challenge. We also build strong relationships with our parents and we take our role at the heart of the Leyland community seriously.
At our school, students experience inspirational and challenging teaching, excellent pastoral care and a genuine belief that every child can succeed. It is an incredibly exciting time for our school. We are one of just a small number of schools nationally to be chosen for the Department for Education’s Schools Rebuilding Project. In addition, our fantastic reputation in the local community has secured a significant growth in the number of students attending Wellfield. The number of families choosing Wellfield as their first-choice secondary school has more than trebled in the past three years and we are excited to welcome more staff and students into the Wellfield family as a result. This, in turn, has also provided an exciting opportunity to enhance and develop our curriculum offer across the school. Additionally, in September 2025, we were delighted to open the Endeavour Thrive Hub- an enhanced resource provision for students with Education & Health Care Plans to ensure they benefit from a mainstream education whilst also experiencing high quality, targeted and bespoke intervention on a daily basis.
We are a school that is dedicated to developing students who are aspirational, inclusive of one another and rooted in their community. Additionally, we are extremely passionate about ensuring the successful development of each individual child within an ambitious learning environment. Our students behave well, and they thrive in our warm and inclusive environment. Ensuring we provide the very best for each and every one of our students on a daily basis is what drives our culture and ethos of high expectations and standards in all areas of school life.
We hope our website gives you a flavour of who we are and what we do for our students. We enjoy talking to prospective students and their families about the exciting journey we are on so please feel free to contact us for a tour of the school. Wellfield is a school that I am incredibly proud to lead on a daily basis and one that we would love you to visit.
