Animal Farm

Year 8 pupils used their drama skills in today’s English lesson to bring Chapter 4 of Animal Farm to life! Re-enacting key moments from the Battle of the Cowshed, they captured the intensity and emotion of the animals’ fight for the farm. From Snowball’s leadership to Boxer’s strength, they explored the themes of power and rebellion through still image. Amazing work, Year 8!

Prefects – Senior Year 11 pupils take on multiple responsibilities and are active role models for the school upholding our values and providing support for their peers.  Our prefects undergo training i.e Safeguarding training to allow them to provide advice and support to their peers. Our prefects attend events out of school hours and are advocates for the school. The pupils demonstrate the highest levels of engagement and commitment to Wednesfield Academy.

Student council – Student Councillors play a pivotal role in the everyday life of their peers at Wednesfield Academy. They provide support to pupils and share impactful ideas to improve all areas of school life for them and their fellow pupils. They work collaboratively with 6th form leadership and teachers to build a better, brighter school where we all learn in a spirit of respect, resilience and pride.

Anti-Bullying ambassadors – Wednesfield Academy actively participates in the Anti-Bullying Ambassadors program and offers support to combat bullying. Anti-Bullying ambassadors play a pivotal role in promoting respect and kindness. They also raise awareness of bullying and the impacts it can have on individuals and the academy as whole. We are committed to promoting the welfare of children and young people. As an anti-bullying ambassador, one should be able to help educate on bullying, lead on anti-bullying campaigns, promote a culture which celebrates and tolerates difference and help keep students safe both online and offline. These students are passionate and committed to stop bullying.   

Charity ambassadors – Our charity ambassadors are able to voice different ideas to help raise money whilst involving both students and teachers. These students hold responsibility to plan and execute activities that would be beneficial to a particular charity, it can be local or one of their choices. This is an opportunity that can help the student be more confident to share their ideas and develop their programming skills. Whilst planning the event, students will learn the charity’s aim and how it links to our school values.

Alongside the student council, their role involves sharing ideas to contribute to rebuilding an eco-friendly school.

Unequivocally, an eco-ambassador is someone who oversees the ways that we can reuse and recycle in our school.

Wednesfield Academy Summer School: 19th – 21st August 2024

We have had a brilliant 3 days of summer school with many of our new Year 7 intake pupils.

They participated in a wide range of activities which included sessions in Hockey, Computer Science. History, Drama, Food Technology and Team Building. This was a great opportunity to get to know other pupils who will be in their year group, meet more of our teachers and to familiarise themselves with our school environment.

We were very impressed with the positive attitudes, exemplary behaviour and high levels of enthusiasm displayed by pupils as they participated in the sessions. Pupils left summer school feeling more confident and even more excited to become a Wednesfield Academy pupil when they start Year 7 in September!
