Our Governors
The governing body of Wellfield Junior School is a pro-active, committed group of people who support the school and hold the school to account by acting as a 'critical friend.' Governors take an active role in the life of the school. They attend a variety of events, including assemblies, parents' evenings and 'Learn with Me' mornings. Link Governors regularly attend school to speak to senior leaders, subject leaders and to the children.
At Wellfield Junior School, we have the following committees:
- Staffing, Standards and Safeguarding committee
- Finance and Resources committee
Both committees meet on a termly basis and report to the Full Governing Body.
Governors regularly attend training courses run by Trust GS.
Governors’ terms of office run for four years from the date of appointment and it is a voluntary role.
At Wellfield Juniors the Governing body is comprised of 12 governors:
- 7 co-opted governors
- 1 local authority governor
- 2 parent governors
- 1 headteacher
- 1 staff governor
