What a brilliant night at our MADD (Music, Art, Dance & Drama) evening!
From those stepping onto the stage for the very first time, to pupils who’ve performed at all our MADD Evenings before, every single pupil showed just how much talent we have here at Wednesfield.
Each event grows bigger and better – and it’s all thanks to the dedication, creativity, enthusiasm and resilience our performers bring every time.
We couldn’t be prouder.

Let the countdown begin.
Some of our Computer Science students had the incredible opportunity to step back in time and explore one of the most important sites of World War II – Bletchley Park, the home of British codebreaking and the birthplace of modern computing.
From learning about the heroic work of Alan Turing and the Enigma codebreakers to seeing the original huts and the mighty Bombe machine in action, the visit brought history, mathematics, and computer science to life in the most engaging way.
We recently took 49 pupils from Years 8 to 10 to see Dear England, a gripping National Theatre production by James Graham. The play explores leadership, pressure and national identity through the story of Gareth Southgate and the England men’s football team. Pupils thoroughly enjoyed the performance, and for at least half the group it was their first time experiencing live theatre. It proved to be a memorable introduction to the power of performance and storytelling. Members of the public praised the pupils’ behaviour and engagement, saying they were a credit to the school. We are incredibly proud of how they represented us and look forward to offering more opportunities like this in the future.
