Wednesfield Academy is open as normal tomorrow (Tuesday 13^th January 2026) and we apologise for the inconvenience caused today by the school closure due to a burst water pipe resulting in no running water. This issue has been resolved, and we look forward to seeing all pupils back in school.  Thank you parents/carers for your understanding and patience.

We are extremely proud of Arjun in Year 8 who has just completed an intensive and exciting period performing in the Christmas pantomime Sleeping Beauty at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre. Following rehearsals and a full run of performances from December 2025 to January 2026, he took part in around 15 performances over approximately six weeks, gaining valuable experience of the commitment and discipline required in a professional, large-scale production.  Amazing achievement! 

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

As the pupils arrived at school this morning a water pipe has burst resulting in the school not having running water.  We have had mechanical engineers onsite within 20 minutes who have confirmed that the issue cannot be resolved in less than 2-3 hours, but possibly longer. 

This means that with regret we have to shut the school for the rest of today, as we cannot have the pupils in school for hygiene, hydration and catering reasons without running water. I am very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused, and we will update you if the issue cannot be resolved today.

Pupils will be dismissed at 9.30am, but we are instructing all pupils that if they cannot make their own way home they are to stay onsite.  

If pupils want to complete any work while at home, we recommend they use our online platforms such as GCSE Pod and MathsWatch.

Apologises for the situation, this is certainly not what as a school we would ever want to do.

We are delighted to announce that six Wednesfield Academy pupils have qualified for membership of the Mensa Society this year. Mensa is the world’s largest high IQ organisation, and to gain entry, pupils must sit a Mensa‑approved intelligence test and achieve a score within the top 2% of the population.

Congratulations to David, George, Isabel, Sebastian, Joy and Pandora on their outstanding achievement. This brings the total number of Mensa‑qualified pupils at Wednesfield Academy to 14. We look forward to offering further opportunities for more of our pupils to take the test in the near future

On Wednesday 17th December, we had our Christmas celebration assemblies. So much fun was had by both pupils and staff. Warwick House clenched the house cup this time so we will see what the new year brings. Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!

Year 7 had their first fixture against a strong Bloxwich school on Wednesday 12^th November. The girls had only practiced as a whole team a few times. Within the first minute of the game we scored and started strong. Throughout the game, the girls defended well and kept fighting back. The score was 10-2 to Bloxwich but the score doesn't reflect our opportunities and how the girls played together as a team. Well done to all the girls!

The Year 10 clash was an absolute thriller! In a high-scoring showdown packed with fast breaks, big defensive stands, and end-to-end action, Wednesfield Academy emerged victorious with a fantastic 15–12 win. The atmosphere was electric, and the team rose to the moment in every possible way.

Our players carried themselves with huge pride, stepping onto the court determined to show what Wednesfield Academy is all about. Their confidence, unity, and passion were clear from the very first possession.

Walsall Academy pushed hard — really hard — and at one point closed the gap to just a single goal. But this only made our team fight even more fiercely. The way Year 10 dug deep, kept their heads up, and battled for every loose ball showed outstanding resilience. They never backed down, even when the momentum swung against them.

Wednesfield Academy started brightly, stringing passes together with a composure that suggested they were intent on setting the tone early.

The baskets came steadily—some crafted through neat interplay, others the result of sharp individual moments. But it wasn’t just the scoring that stood out; it was the sense of pride in the way the team moved and communicated, each player backing the next.

Walsall Academy had strong spells and forced several difficult defensive moments, yet Wednesfield’s back line showed genuine resilience, recovering shape quickly and refusing to let setbacks rattle them. Even when challenges got physical or decisions didn’t go their way, the players carried themselves with a level of respect—for the officials, for their opponents, and for the standards they set for themselves.

A deserved 11–4 win, built on teamwork, patience, and the belief that they could keep pushing until the final whistle.

The academy programme extends traditional youth football by offering players aged 16 and over the opportunity to continue their footballing journey, supporting their dreams and ambitions of building a career within the game.

Our academy is designed to assist and guide players who wish to pursue a future in football, providing structured training and developmental sessions that help them understand the demands and expectations as they progress into adult football.

All players who join our Academy will have a programme that has been carefully created to combine both football and education—an essential partnership that supports and enhances their overall development.
