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.
Pupils have engaged in our induction days from experiencing Sixth form life, from subjects, to engaging talks from West Midlands fire service and team building. We look forward to seeing you again on results day and in September.
Pupils engaged with the DFE funded WorkPays and learnt a lot about degree apprenticeships. One of our Deputy head students said:
'I found the session really helpful and informative. The speaker explained things clearly, showed us where to find opportunities online on different platforms, and the workshop was a good challenge that tested our thinking and problem-solving skills.
It definitely gave me a better understanding of what degree apprenticeships involve, and it's something I’m now seriously considering for the future.'
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.
We're thrilled to share that Access Creative College is running a brand-new Summer Camp this August – and it's a fantastic chance for our students to explore their passion for the creative industries!
