Student Leadership
At Wednesfield we aim to give our pupils the very best curriculum experience possible.
We develop these skills and values by encouraging our pupils to take part in roles around the school that provide them with responsibilities and allow them to develop leadership characteristics.

The pupils demonstrate the highest levels of engagement and commitment to Wednesfield Academy.
Student council - Student Councillors play a pivotal role in the everyday life of their peers at Wednesfield Academy. They provide support to pupils and share impactful ideas to improve all areas of school life for them and their fellow pupils. They work collaboratively with 6th form leadership and teachers to build a better, brighter school where we all learn in a spirit of respect, resilience and pride.
Charity ambassadors - Our charity ambassadors are able to voice different ideas to help raise money whilst involving both students and teachers. These students hold responsibility to plan and execute activities that would be beneficial to a particular charity, it can be local or one of their choices. This is an opportunity that can help the student be more confident to share their ideas and develop their programming skills. Whilst planning the event, students will learn the charity's aim and how it links to our school values.
