Think Tank

On Monday 14 pupils with a passion for Science attended SciSpace 2026 at Thinktank.
The day featured a range of educational shows, hands-on workshops, and exciting exhibits, as well as valuable opportunities for pupils to connect with industry professionals.
The main objective was to enrich and enhance young people’s experiences, helping them to achieve their full potential. Year 9 were impeccable throughout the day, volunteering enthusiastically to take part in all team-building activities and demonstrations. They represented the school superbly and had an excellent day.

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.

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: 

  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
