Congratulations to our Year 11 Leavers who celebrated their Prom evening at The Molineux this week.
They have been a credit to academy, we look forward to seeing them open their GCSE exam results on Thursday 21st August.
Have a lovely summer!
Year 7 had the wonderful opportunity to visit Warwick Castle on Tuesday 15th July. Pupils were taken back in time as they visited the Grand Hall and State rooms viewing artefacts and portraits that all tell the story of the castle’s ownership through time. Their History lessons were brought to life when they observed the War of the Roses Jousting performance - a highlight of the day. The Falconers Quest demonstration was a real treat and brought a high level of excitement as the birds of prey swooped over the heads of pupils. Pupils also loved the opportunity to explore the grounds, climb the Tower and really experience was life was like in medieval England.
Celebrating our differences, uniting through culture. Highlights included:
• Engaging music workshops
• Talented student performances
• Colourful and diverse culture fair stands
An inspiring talk from guest speaker Erol Lawson
It was a fantastic celebration of the cultures that shape our school community. Thank you to all students for being part of it!
We are delighted to remind parents/carer of details of the 2025 leavers Year 11 Prom.
The Year 11 Prom is on Wednesday 16th July 2025, held at Molineux Stadium starting at 6.30pm and finishing at 11.00pm.
We suggest pupils start arriving from 6.15pm.
The Molineux Stadium postcode is WV1 4QR.
It is vital parents and pupils arrange transport to and from the venue prior to the event.
Molineux Stadium is a CASHLESS Venue, so pupils need to have other methods of payment on them for the evening.
Pupils can arrive at the stadium via Waterloo Road, parents can park on the Stand Cullis Car Park and then walk over to see the pupils arrive and take photos etc.
We are incredibly proud of our Year 8 pupils who successfully completed The Scholars Programme with The Brilliant Club this year! Over the Spring and Summer terms, they took part in university-style tutorials led by a PhD tutor, developing their academic skills and curiosity. The programme concluded with a Graduation Event at the University of Nottingham.
Their hard work paid off with fantastic results:
Well done to all involved, an inspiring achievement!
From 1st – 5th July, pupils from all Matrix Academy Trust schools, including Elmwood School who are joining the Matrix family in September, embarked on the final International trip of the 2024–2025 academic year. The 55 children experienced an unforgettable week in the heart of Italy.
During their time in Italy, students explored some of Rome’s most iconic landmarks, including the awe-inspiring Colosseum and the Pantheon. A hands-on gladiator school experience gave everyone a taste of ancient Roman life — a highlight for many, even with the heat!
Adventurous spirits were tested on the high ropes course, followed by visits to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and the lively Piazza Navona. Although a planned trip to the Vatican was sadly cancelled due to a metro line closure, spirits remained high. Instead, the group enjoyed a sunny afternoon on the beach at Ostia, where paddling in the sea proved the perfect way to end a packed itinerary.
The behaviour of all students was exemplary throughout the trip — a real credit to the Trust and to their schools. The final trip of this year was a resounding success, leaving everyone with memories that will last a lifetime – and a lot of enthusiasm to participate in next year’s adventures!
Our Y10 and Y12 have received their mock results this week, congratulations to all pupils on some very impressive results, there are now 12 months to the real examinations, time to work hard and be the best you can be #ChangingLivesShapingFutures
Year 12 students launched into their Performing Arts and Media courses this week with energy and creativity. They explored naturalistic acting, rehearsal techniques, and experimented with camera shots and angles—an exciting start to the year ahead!
Year 12 have been celebrating their success with a colour run and lots of different activities after working so hard this year, Well done to each and everyone of you.
