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.
