Apps Update

Wednesfield Academy will be using Classcharts to log pupils’ behaviour and praise points. The new Weduc app will be used for parental communication such as sending letters home. Once the issues with WeDuc are resolved Wednesfield will not longer use the My Child At School App at all. The reason the MCAS app is still being used to send letters home currently is due to the problems with the Weduc app that we are working with the company to resolve. We apologise for the confusion caused, and are trying to rectify matters as soon as possible.

Sports Day 2023

The day finally arrived; the long-awaited Sports Day 2023!  Pupils and staff were prepared for all eventualities including the weather and despite the rain during the morning the call was made for the event to go ahead and we are really glad that it did!

Firstly, the PE department want to say how proud we all are of all the participants involved. Everyone was respectful, supportive of each other and behaved in a sensible and mature manner. The sportsmanship between houses, teams and individuals was superb and your spectator etiquette was commendable. The level of ability and enthusiasm in the track and field events was amazing to see and it shows the hard work the pupils have put in over the last year to create such a competitive day.

MANY CONGRATULATIONS TO KENILWORTH HOUSE FOR WINNING THE SPORTS DAY TROPHY!

Also, a massive thank you to all the staff who was involved, it truly was a fantastic day and to see so many people smiling was brilliant to see. A big shout out to all the teachers who took part in the teacher race and of course congratulations to the PE department (Miss Nash, Miss Morris, Mr Harris & Mr Parsons) for winning.

Year 11 Prom 2023

Year 11 prom at Molineux Stadium. 

The weather enabled some amazing entrances by the pupils including expensive cars, a horse and carriage and an amazing motorbike procession.  As the pupils arrived, we knew that we were in for a brilliant night! 

Inside the Hayward Suite pupils enjoyed a welcome drink and a 2-course meal before the party really started.  The DJ did an amazing job at keeping the dance floor full all night and both the staff and pupils took the opportunity to enjoy themselves with a dance off and a sing along. 

As the night progressed Mr Hill took to the stage to host the awards for the evening including best dressed and Prom King and Queen.  The crowd went wild as L Swinbourne and A Miles were handed their crowns as Prom King and Queen 2023 and T Grizzle and M Omar were awarded best dressed. 

The pupils’ behaviour was impeccable, another indication of how amazing this year’s Year 11 have been!  We are very proud of them and look forward to celebrating their results with them in August! 

A special mention to Mr Hill for organising such a wonderful event.

Matrix ‘Far From Home’ – Turing 2023-24

Sweden, Italy, Peru

We are delighted to announce that, for the third year running, Matrix Academy Trust has had another successful Turing bid.

The Turing Scheme is the UK government’s programme to provide funding for international opportunities in education and training across the world. It supports Global Britain by providing an opportunity for UK organisations from the higher education, further education, vocational education and training and schools sectors to offer young people  life-changing experiences.

This year, pupils in Year 8 from across Matrix schools will be visiting Sweden. Year 10 will be exploring ancient history in Italy. Year 12 students will be travelling around the world to Peru.

We chose ‘Far From Home’ as the name of our 2023-24 Turing project because we are committed to promoting an international outlook with our pupils. For our young people to be successful, we need to do whatever we can to broaden their horizons – and one way of doing this is to take them ‘far from home’. We will be making sure the pupils who are selected to go on these visits will be those that will benefit most from them.

More information about these opportunities will be shared in September.
