About Wellfield Junior School

If you’re a parent weighing up Wellfield Junior School, the first thing to know is that it’s a popular choice locally. The school is oversubscribed, with 254 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, so securing a place is competitive. That demand is backed up by strong parent satisfaction: in its most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was judged to have ‘Good’ leadership and management, and the overall rating remains Good. The previous graded inspection in 2014 also rated it Good, a significant improvement from an Inadequate rating in 2012. While the data doesn’t include a specific parent-view survey percentage, the oversubscription ratio alone suggests a school that local families trust. Headteacher Steven Worrall leads a mixed, non-religious state primary for ages 7 to 11 in Trafford, and the school’s 13% pupil premium rate is below the national average, indicating a relatively less disadvantaged intake than some neighbouring schools.
