During the first term of this academic year, pupils from across our Trust came together for a special creative project celebrating the theme of community. Hosted at Turves Green Boys’ School, pupils from each of our schools collaborated to design and create a vibrant collection of artwork that reflected what community means to them, their classmates, and their individual school environments.

Working side by side, pupils shared ideas, stories, and artistic styles to produce individual pieces. Following the event, the artwork has now been transformed into signage and distributed to every school within the Trust. This means that each school now proudly displays a piece of the collective mural, ensuring that a small part of every school community is represented across all of our sites.

These displays are now proudly showcased in various locations around each school, celebrating creativity, collaboration, and the shared values that unite our Trust. The project not only produced beautiful artwork but also created lasting connections between pupils and schools, reinforcing the importance of belonging, respect, and community.

We are incredibly proud of all the pupils who took part and the creativity, teamwork, and thought they brought to this project. The pieces stand as a lasting symbol of the spirit of our Trust – many schools, one community.

Had a day off? Catch Up on Missed Learning

Whether pupil absence is planned or unplanned we encourage pupils to take responsibility to make sure they have caught up on the work missed. Following their absence, if appropriate, we ask pupils to complete some or all of the following tasks: 

1. Ask another pupil in your class to make a copy of notes from the lesson. 
2. In the lesson following your absence ask the teacher for any worksheets/materials missed or catch-up tasks. 
3. If you are absent for a longer period, your teachers will agree how you are going to catch up on missed learning

Parents can build an understanding of what pupils are learning by looking at our curriculum overviews on the website - Curriculum - Wednesfield Academy

Yesterday we celebrated World Book Day and what a fantastic day it was! A huge thank you to our wonderful school community for all of your hard work bringing these beloved book characters to life.

Thrilled to share the incredible work our pupils did at Bentley Court Care Home! They not only created a beautiful piece of art but also represented our school so wonderfully with their creativity, teamwork, and respect. Today, we returned to finish the masterpiece, and the results are truly stunning! A big thank you to everyone involved for making this project so special. It’s been amazing to see our pupils bring joy through art to the residents and staff

This Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD), established in 2000, is marked each year on 27th January. This date marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp complex, and the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia. As part of the remembrance sixth form History students took part in a webcast organised by the Holocaust Educational Trust. The webcast is a special online event where thousands of schools, organisations and individuals across the UK came together to hear from Mala Tribich MBE about her experiences during the Holocaust. The students become witnesses to this lived history. We hope that by taking part in this event we have inspired our students to stand against hatred, intolerance and antisemitism.

This week we hosted our first ever trust wide football competition between all our schools. The competition was hosted at Etone College and utilised the outstanding facilities and Football Academy provision to implement a very competitive and fun filled event. The day consisted of high quality and competitive football from Year 8 pupils from each of our schools. Our pupils showcased sportsmanship of the highest quality and their passion for football shone through as pupils enjoyed playing and meeting people from across the trust.

It was evident as soon as the group stages started, the games were going to be decided with a bit of magic, an error, or the dreaded penalties. The group stages ended Bloxwich Academy, Dame Elizabeth Cadbury, Etone College and Turves Green Boys’ School progressed to the semi-final stage.

The 7th and 8th placed playoff was a competitive affair which saw the Etone B team victorious over Wednesfield Academy on penalties. The 5th and 6th placed game saw Barr Beacon win the game 1-0. In the semi-finals there was very little difference between the four schools in what was a very competitive high-quality game and again the dreaded penalty shoot-out came into force, Etone College and Bloxwich Academy progressed to the final and Turves Green and Dame Elizabeth went into the third and fourth playoff game

The 3rd and 4th playoff game was a very exciting game that saw both teams miss chances and played some free-flowing exciting football, unfortunately both keepers were to remain unbeaten, and Dame Elizabeth took the third place on penalties. The final consisted of Bloxwich Academy and Etone College in which was anyone’s to win after the two teams had played out a 0-0 draw earlier in the day. Etone started quickly and scored an absolute thunderbolt into the top corner to make it 1-0, Bloxwich to their credit competed fiercely and played some fantastic football and deserved their equaliser to make it 1-1. With both teams going for the win Etone caught Bloxwich on the break to open them up and scored 3 late goals to take the game and the title 4-1.

A huge well done to all pupils and staff involved and a big thankyou to all those that contributed to the event. We are looking forward to getting the next event booked into the calendar to see where the shield will end up next year.

Yesterday we started our festive festivities with Key Stage assemblies.  All of the pupils were a credit to our amazing school getting involved in all sorts of games to win points for their house.

Staff were involved too with a couple of them getting more than they signed up for during our version of The Wheel.

The behaviour of the pupils was outstanding, with lots of them wanting to take part- we all had lots of laughs.

Just another sign of how brilliant our school is.

Well done to Warwick for winning the House Cup for this half term!

Merry Christmas!
