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.
If you are interested in playing hockey and joining Cannock Hockey Club, please contact Mr Hill in school for more information.
Wednesday 8th July saw our annual celebration evening held at GTG West Midlands.
It was a wonderful evening where we were able to congratulate almost 80 pupils and welcome their friends and families to celebrate with us.
Pupils were awarded prizes for excellence in subject areas, for upholding our academy values, for demonstrating outstanding commitment to the Combined Cadet Force or for making excellent progress throughout the year.
We also welcomed our new Post-16 Leadership team who presented confidently and represented the school with pride.
There were some special awards for sporting excellence, resilience through adversity and artistic contribution and an overall headteacher's award for excellence.
Musical performances took place in the atrium before the event began and once again showcased the talent of our pupils.
As always, it was with enormous pride that we welcomed back ex-pupil Joe Morris to present an award in his mother's honour. We thank Joe for taking the time to support us and our pupils.
We are very proud of all of our award winners and congratulate them again for their achievements.
We wanted to make you aware that the weather forecast for the remainder of this week continues to predict higher temperatures.
To help pupils stay comfortable, they may wear the school's PE kit for the rest of the week if they would prefer, instead of their normal school uniform. Please ensure this is in line with the school's PE uniform guidance, which can be found on our website: https://wednesfieldacademy.com/uniform/.
As a reminder, pupils must not wear branded sportswear or other non-school PE items. If they arrive wearing branded items, they will be required to change into the school's PE kit.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to welcoming all pupils into school as normal for the remainder of the week.
We are incredibly proud of our Year 8 pupils who successfully completed The Scholars Programme with The Brilliant Club this year. Over the Spring and Summer terms, pupils took part in university-style tutorials led by a PhD tutor, developing their academic skills, confidence, and intellectual curiosity. As part of the programme, pupils also worked on an economics project at school, exploring the question, “What is money?” The programme concluded with a visit to University of Manchester, where pupils toured the campus, spoke with university students to gain insight into university life, and attended their graduation ceremony. Their hard work and dedication resulted in outstanding outcomes, achieving five Firsts, five 2:1s, two 2:2s and one 3rd for their final assignment. Congratulations to all involved on this inspiring achievement. We are immensely proud of everything our pupils have accomplished
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.
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.
