Wednesfield Academy is celebrating being graded ‘Good’ by Ofsted in all areas – for the first time in its history.
The academy was graded ‘Requires Improvement’ when last inspected while in its previous trust, in November 2022. In January 2023, the school joined us. Ofsted inspectors fully recognised how much Wednesfield Academy had improved since joining the Matrix family, observing that:
“The school has undergone a significant period of change and development since the previous graded inspection. The school has rapidly raised expectations around learning and behaviour and has developed a highly ambitious and well-sequenced curriculum for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). As a result, pupils achieve well and are well prepared for the next stage of their lives.”

Our Chair of Trustees, Sir Mark Aspinall, said: “It’s all about the children. That sounds obvious, but schools can lose sight of what is important. Clear and decisive leadership, with a pupil-centred approach, has ensured Wednesfield has been able to improve both rapidly and sustainably. I could not be more proud of everyone involved.”
