This Friday, 10th October, we’re supporting Young Minds #helloyellow campaign by inviting pupils to wear something yellow — this could be a hair accessory, tie, jumper or socks — along with their usual school uniform.

We’re asking for a £1 contribution to help raise funds for this important cause.

Thank you for your support in helping us raise awareness for children’s mental health

On Friday 3rd October, 49 of our Year 10 Media and Drama pupils visited the Warner Bros. Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter. Pupils had an incredible time exploring real costumes, props and sets, and even took on the Death Eaters in an interactive performance! The trip gave students a new appreciation for the creativity, teamwork and technical skill that go into filmmaking, as well as the wide range of exciting career paths linked to studying Media and Drama at exam level.

On Tuesday 23rd September, our Year 10 and 11 exam-level pupils took part in an incredible acting workshop with professional actor Georgie.

Pupils stepped out of their comfort zones, built confidence, and discovered the power of teamwork in drama. It was brilliant to see them living our school values by showing resilience when facing challenges, pride in their progress, and respect for one another throughout the day.

A huge thank you to Georgie for such a valuable and inspiring workshop.

We are very proud to announce that Miss Mustapha in year 13 has been nominated for the youth citizen award, where she was shortlisted. A wonderful evening to celebrate her success at the University of Wolverhampton alongside Mrs Gwatkin who attended.  Miss Mustapha goes above and beyond in her voluntary work in and outside of school, supporting the pupils and the community around her. Well done, we are so proud of her.

Year 11 Prefect Team Bonding Weekend COMPLETE! Despite the weather, our pupils demonstrated outstanding teamwork, communication, leadership, resilience, and problem-solving skills. The weekend gave our prefects the chance to build confidence, strengthen relationships, and develop the key skills they’ll need to be excellent role models across the school.

A huge thank you once again to all the team at PGL for providing such a fantastic experience. Finally, a big thank you to Miss Nash and Mr Owens for volunteering their time to accompany our Prefects this weekend. 

Well done to the 2025 Year 11 cohort on achieving the best GCSEs Wednesfield Academy has achieved under the new GCSE grading system introduced in 2017.  The staff are incredibly proud of them and it was a pleasure seeing the pupils celebrating this morning.  We wish pupils all the best for their post-16 steps and look forward to seeing a number of the students back in Wednesfield at the start of September for Sixth form.

Wednesfield Academy is thrilled to be able to congratulate our students on their strong A-Level achievements, with results showing an increase in the average grade again this year.

This summer, there were more A–A*, more pupils going to top universities and the average grade awarded for BTEC was a Distinction.  

We wish all year 13 the best of luck with their next steps and to stay in touch.

We will be holding a few open events this year to give all prospective Year 7 parents and pupils the chance to come and visit us. These events will give you a little insight into what is means to be a pupil at Wednesfield Academy and give you the chance to ask any questions you may have.

Open Mornings will take place on Friday 26th September 2025 9:00-10:00am and Thursday 2nd October 2025 9:00-10:00am.
