Junior Leadership Team Welcome
JLT welcome.
As the Junior Leadership Team we would like to warmly welcome you to Wellfield Academy.
Starting anything new can be challenging and high school can be a daunting experience. Fortunately, we were once in that position too, so we understand what you may be feeling. We promise to be here to help and support you with any of your worries and concerns throughout your entire Wellfield Academy journey, we want you to feel as comfortable as possible, so you can thrive here at this school.
After our positive experiences during our previous years in school, we are keen to give something back. We applied to the junior leadership, and our goal is to uphold our school motto of being “nothing but the best” and encourage everyone to uphold the same standard throughout their time at Wellfield.
The JLT provides a unique insight into a student's perspective of the school. This allows for a bond between students and staff, creating a respectful and trustworthy working relationship.
In Wellfield, we believe that each and every student deserves to make the most of their time here and we as a school will endeavour to help you to achieve your goals, and become a grade A student.
Our staff and students are looking forward to meeting you all and working with you in the months and years ahead. We hope that you have the same fantastic experience we have had.

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. Within the JLT, there are several roles including leaders of aspirations, community, and well-being; these roles further support our Values Captains, Deputy Head and Head Students.
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.
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
