The study objectives were: To assess the level of school welfare, assess the level of teachers' work performance and to establish whether there is a significant relationship between school welfare and teachers work performance. The study was both quantitative and qualitative. The researcher used a descriptive cross sectional survey study design for objective one and objective two of the study. A correlation design was used for objective three of the study. A descriptive analysis was applied using frequencies, percentages and means. Also, Pearson Correlation Analysis was used to determine the relationship between variables. From the study it was found out that school welfare as assessed by the teachers was low (Grand mean = 2.23, std = 1.004), teachers' work performance was assessed as low and the following teacher performance gaps were identified; teachers' failure to scheme, lesson plan, beat the set deadlines, absenteeism, unwillingness to take on extra duties and failure to carry out students' assessment as required. There was a weak linear significant direct relationship between school welfare and teachers' work performance (r = 0.194, p = 0.005). The researcher concluded that school welfare was low and it was significantly related to teachers work performance. The researcher made the following recommendations: The school administrators and school management committees to pay attention to school welfare. Administrators and management committees should ensure that there is value for money. Administrators should conduct regular appraisals of teachers.
