The Brilliant Club

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, pupils took part in university-style tutorials led by a PhD tutor, developing their academic skills, confidence, and intellectual curiosity. As part of the programme, pupils also worked on an economics project at school, exploring the question, “What is money?” The programme concluded with a visit to University of Manchester, where pupils toured the campus, spoke with university students to gain insight into university life, and attended their graduation ceremony. Their hard work and dedication resulted in outstanding outcomes, achieving five Firsts, five 2:1s, two 2:2s and one 3rd for their final assignment. Congratulations to all involved on this inspiring achievement. We are immensely proud of everything our pupils have accomplished

Colonel’s review for Trooping the colour

This weekend a group of cadets from Wednesfield Academy had a fantastic opportunity to travel to London and watch the Colonel’s review for Trooping the colour. This is the last opportunity for the Guards to perfect the ceremony prior to the King’s official birthday.

Despite a very early 4:30am start and some incredibly heavy rain throughout the day, the cadets were absolutely outstanding. Their conduct, attitude, resilience and professionalism were exemplary from start to finish and they were a real credit to both themselves and Wednesfield Academy.

The opportunity to witness such a significant national and military event was a fantastic experience for them and one that I am sure they will remember for many years to come. They represented the school superbly throughout the day and received positive comments from members of the public and staff alike.

Our pupils enjoyed a fantastic visit to the Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum today. The trip gave pupils the chance to take their learning beyond the classroom through a range of exciting science and engineering activities. One of the highlights was taking part in a forensic science investigation, where pupils worked together to examine evidence and solve scientific challenges like real forensic investigators. A brilliant day filled with learning, teamwork, and discovery!
