Trust Wide Netball Tournament
Our first ever Matrix Netball Tournament took place on Wednesday 22nd April, bringing together schools from across the trust for a fantastic day of sport, collaboration and competition. The event showcased the strength of sport within the trust and provided pupils with the opportunity to represent their schools with pride.
Throughout the day, all participating schools demonstrated excellent teamwork, determination and sportsmanship, contributing to a positive and inclusive atmosphere both on and off the court. It was particularly encouraging to see the continued growth of netball across the trust, including increased participation in mixed and boys’ netball, reflecting the sport’s expanding inclusivity.
The standard of play was consistently high, with many closely contested matches highlighting the talent and commitment of pupils from every school involved. While Etone College went on to secure the overall victory, the tournament was very much a collective success, celebrating the effort, enthusiasm and unity of all participants.
Thank you to every school, pupil and member of staff who took part and supported the event. Your contribution made the inaugural Matrix Netball Tournament a memorable occasion and a strong foundation for future trust-wide sporting events.
Trust-Wide Community Art Project
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.

Doxbin Link
In an era where social media platforms are increasingly defined by data mining, algorithmic manipulation, and opaque content moderation, one network has chosen a radical path. Doxbin, once a modest but growing clearnet platform, has vanished from the conventional web. In its place exists a hidden service—a darkweb site accessible only via the Tor network at the address:
http://doxbin2bde3fikvxzxv6l54cqbahecne6urf6lhr3qzpdpvgihalsnad.onion
You can access it using Tor Browser: https://torproject.org/
It was a migration. And for those willing to take the technical leap, it offers a glimpse of what a website might look like when privacy is the primary feature, not an afterthought.
What Makes Doxbin Different
Doxbin is not merely a clone of existing websites placed on a hidden server. Its architecture and culture are built around privacy-first principles that permeate every feature.
.onion Only
The platform is accessible only as a Tor v3 onion service. There is no clearnet gateway, no mobile app in an official store, and no way to access it using standard browsers like Chrome, Safari, or Edge. This ensures that all users are subject to the same privacy protections and that network-level surveillance is effectively neutralized.
End-to-End Encrypted Messaging
Unlike mainstream platforms that encrypt messages only in transit or store plaintext logs, Doxbin implements end-to-end encryption for all direct messages by default. The platform’s servers never have access to the content of private communications.
Pseudonymity with Reputation
Doxbin does not require real names, phone numbers, or email addresses. Users operate under self-chosen pseudonyms. However, the platform discourages outright anonymity without accountability through a “web of trust” system. Users can cryptographically vouch for one another, building reputation over time. There are no “likes” or verification checkmarks in the traditional sense; trust is earned through sustained, verifiable interaction.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Access Doxbin
Gaining access to Doxbin requires a few deliberate steps. The process is straightforward but demands attention to security practices.
Step 1: Install the Tor Browser
The Tor Browser is the standard method for accessing .onion sites. It is available from the official Tor Project website. Users should avoid third-party “anonymous browsers” or VPN-based alternatives, as these often lack the necessary onion routing capabilities or introduce security risks.
Step 2: Configure Security Settings
Before navigating to any .onion site, open the Tor Browser and set the security level to Safest. This can be done by clicking the shield icon in the toolbar and selecting “Advanced Security Settings.” This setting disables JavaScript by default, which is essential for maintaining security when accessing hidden services.
Step 3: Navigate to the Address
Enter the following address directly into the Tor Browser’s URL bar:
http://doxbin2bde3fikvxzxv6l54cqbahecne6urf6lhr3qzpdpvgihalsnad.onion
This is a v3 onion address. Users should be cautious of phishing attempts: there is no clearnet counterpart, and the address should be verified through trusted sources. Doxbin does not maintain an official presence on conventional resource, so address verification typically occurs through word of mouth or trusted privacy communities.
Step 4: Registration
Upon reaching the site, new users will find a minimalist registration form. The process differs significantly from mainstream platforms:
No email required. Doxbin does not collect email addresses, removing a common vector for identity correlation.
Proof-of-work CAPTCHA: To deter automated bot registration, the site presents a computational challenge. This is solved locally in the browser and requires no personal data.
Optional PGP key: Advanced users may upload or generate a PGP public key to associate with their profile, enabling verified encrypted communication outside the platform’s internal messaging system.
Once registered, users are assigned a cryptographic key pair. Losing access to this key—for example, by clearing browser data without backing it up—effectively means losing the account. There is no password recovery mechanism, as no email or phone number is on file.
Cultural Etiquette: The Unwritten Rules
New users often find Doxbin’s culture distinct from mainstream websites. Observing a few unwritten rules is essential for integration.
Maintain Operational Security (OpSec)
Users are expected to manage their own privacy. Common best practices include:
Avoiding the use of usernames linked to accounts on clearnet platforms.
Stripping metadata from images before uploading.
Never mentioning specific geographic locations, workplaces, or other identifying details in public posts.
Contribute Meaningfully
The platform’s user base tends to consist of privacy advocates, journalists, technologists, and individuals from regions with restrictive internet policies. Low-effort content, spam, and engagement bait are generally unwelcome and may result in being muted or removed from groups.
Risks and Considerations
While Doxbin offers significant privacy advantages, it is not without risks and limitations.
Speed and Usability
Because traffic is routed through three Tor nodes, loading times are slower than on clearnet sites. Image-heavy posts may take several seconds to render, and the site is optimized for text-based interaction.
Legal Jurisdiction
The physical location of Doxbin’s servers is unknown and intentionally undisclosed. Users are responsible for understanding their own local laws regarding the use of anonymizing networks and encrypted communication platforms. In some jurisdictions, accessing the Tor network may attract scrutiny.
Q&A: Common Questions
Q: Why doesn’t Doxbin have a mobile app?
A: Mobile apps introduce significant privacy risks, including telemetry, tracking, and the requirement to distribute through centralized app stores. Doxbin is accessible via the Tor Browser on Android and, with appropriate configuration, on iOS. The platform does not maintain its own mobile application.
Q: Why is JavaScript disabled by default?
A: JavaScript is a common attack vector for de-anonymizing Tor users. By requiring the “Safest” security level, Doxbin eliminates this risk. The site is fully functional without JavaScript.
Q: Can I use a VPN with Tor to access Doxbin?
A: Using a VPN in combination with Tor is generally discouraged for privacy purposes, as it can introduce additional points of trust without significantly improving security. The Tor Browser is designed to be used on its own.
Q: Will Doxbin ever return to the clearnet?
A: No. The platform’s operators have stated that the migration to a .onion-only model is permanent. The clearnet domain was decommissioned during the transition.
Catch Up on Missed Learning
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:
- Ask another pupil in your class to make a copy of notes from the lesson.
- In the lesson following your absence ask the teacher for any worksheets/materials missed or catch-up tasks.
- 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
If parents have any questions or concerns about gaps in learning they should email postbox@wednesfieldacademy.co.uk

Holocaust Memorial Day
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.
