Our Year 13 Biology students have been exploring the concepts of taxis and kinesis in simple organisms. As part of a required practical, they investigated how different environmental conditions affect the movement and behaviour of maggots.

By observing and analysing their responses to changes in the environment, students developed their understanding of how organisms detect and react to stimuli, while also building valuable practical and data analysis skills.

A fantastic example of scientific investigation in action and excellent preparation for their A Level studies!

Cadets and staff from Wednesfield Academy CCF (RAF), were proud to attend the Battle of Britain Parade at the RAFA Club in Wolverhampton.

The parade provided an important opportunity for our cadets to remember the courage, sacrifice and determination of those who fought during the Battle of Britain and to play their part in ensuring their legacy continues to be recognised by the next generation.

It was also fantastic to parade alongside our colleagues from 1046, 1047, 1290 and 2078 Squadrons RAF Air Cadets, bringing together the local cadet community to commemorate one of the most significant moments in the history of the Royal Air Force.

Our Wednesfield cadets represented both their school and Matrix Academy Trust exceptionally well, demonstrating excellent standards of dress, discipline and respect throughout the parade.

A huge well done to everyone who took part and thank you to RAFA Wolverhampton for allowing us to be part of such an important occasion.

We Will Remember Them.

Lest We Forget.

A huge welcome back to all of our Sixth Form students! We’d like to give a special shout-out to Year 12, who have made a smashing start to their Sixth Form journey.

They have already engaged with an inspiring speaker from Sixteen93, learning about exciting opportunities in America, as well as exploring a range of additional opportunities available to our pupils.

Year 12 have also been planting their own cacti  as a symbol of their personal growth and development during their time here at Sixth Form. It has been fantastic to see how quickly they have adapted to Sixth Form life and embraced everything that comes with this exciting new chapter.

Meanwhile, Year 13 have already been thriving, making a strong start and preparing themselves for the year ahead. Their focus, ambition and determination have been fantastic to see.

We are incredibly proud of all our students and can’t wait to take on this adventure with them. Here’s to an exciting and successful year ahead! 

Huge congratulations are in order for Wednesfield Academy's year 11 pupils and staff! This year's GCSE results have broken the school’s records, with 49.2% of pupils achieving 5s and above in both English and Maths.

Wednesfield pupils enjoyed hockey sessions put on by Jude Hitchens, Junior Hockey Coach from Cannock Hockey Club during discovery week.

The pupils looked at different core hockey skills such as push passes, v-drags and different dribbling patterns throughout the day while also developing their communication skills too. Our thanks to Jude and Cannock Hockey Club for providing the sessions.
