Exciting announcement! As part of Discovery Week, the last day of term will see pupils involved in a sponsored water challenge to support this year's Trust charity of Papyrus which is a charity working in the preventing of youth suicide. The poster contains more information and how you can make a donation.
The day was filled with energy, enthusiasm, and outstanding performances from all our pupils. Participation across every event was excellent, with pupils showing determination, teamwork, and great energy throughout the day.
A huge congratulations to Dudley House, who successfully defended their title and were crowned Sports Day Champions once again for 2026! 🏆👏
We are incredibly proud of every pupil who took part and represented their house with such commitment and passion. Special congratulations to our winning athletes, who will now go on to represent Wednesfield Academy at the 2nd Matrix Sports Day.
Thank you to all staff, pupils, and supporters who helped make the event such a memorable success. We look forward to seeing our representatives compete at the Trust Sports Day at Alexander Stadium in July.
We are immensely proud and excited to share the news that our amazing team of Year 9 pupils won the Building Futures community design project. After hours of preparation and a real test of their employability skills, we are delighted to have been given the award for Best Teamwork and also winning the overall competition. The pupils presented confidently in front of the judges and the others school taking part during the event at Wolverhampton University's Springfield Campus and it is brilliant that their efforts have been recognised. Well done everyone!
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!
Today our Year 13 students officially began their study leave. We marked the occasion with a special leavers’ assembly and some fantastic street food!
Well done, Year 13, you have been an amazing year group and such a brilliant cohort. We are so proud of everything you have achieved and have no doubt that you will go on to do incredible things.
Good luck in all your future endeavours, we know the future is bright for each and every one of you.
Year 9 and 10 Drama pupils had a fantastic time watching 2:22 A Ghost Story at the theatre
The trip gave pupils the chance to experience live theatre and explore how acting, lighting, sound and set design create tension for an audience.
This will be especially useful for Year 10 who will be writing about the production in their GCSE Drama mock exam in a few weeks. Good luck, Year 10!
Yesterday afternoon, we had the pleasure of taking a group of pupils to Bentley Court Care Home for a wonderful musical afternoon led by our talented pupils.
The pupils put on a fantastic performance, singing a variety of songs, showcasing their talents on different instruments, and encouraging the residents to join in and sing along. The atmosphere throughout the afternoon was full of energy and enjoyment, creating a memorable experience for everyone involved.
As always, the pupils were a real credit to the school and represented Wednesfield Academy brilliantly. The staff and residents at the care home are always incredibly complimentary about the pupils’ behaviour, kindness, and maturity they show during the visits.
It was especially lovely to see our pupils confidently showcasing their talents while also bringing so much joy and entertainment to the residents. Experiences like these highlight the positive impact our pupils can have within the local community and the importance of building meaningful connections across generations.
Overall, it was a lovely afternoon and a brilliant way to start the week for everyone involved!
