Welcome to Wednesfield Academy
Welcome to Wednesfield AcademyMr Phillips | HeadteacherIt is an honour to introduce myself as Headteacher of Wednesfield Academy. At Wednesfield Academy we are committed to ensuring all pupils meet their full potential. Wednesfield Academy believes school should be a thriving and highly successful learning community for all pupils and a place of high academic achievement and exemplary pupil support. To enable this to happen, there must be a partnership between pupils, parents and staff at the school.Our house system and school ethos are there to create a sense of belonging in the school community and allow pupils to enjoy their learning. We want pupils to leave Wednesfield Academy with the skills and experiences to take the next step in their lives.We believe a close relationship with our linked primaries is crucial to allow for a smooth transition as pupils move from the primary school into secondary. We also want our pupils to be proud members of the community they are from and treat others with respect and kindness.I hope you have chosen Wednesfield Academy for our traditional values and determination for your child to achieve. It is a great pleasure to welcome your child on their journey with us and to work with you.

Some people might think they are held back by where they’re from
and who they are, but I kept thinking ‘How cool would it be if I did
go?’. You’ve got to live your life based on what you find cool, not
what’s cool to everyone else. There’s nothing wrong with being a
nerd – embrace it! Be unafraid to be you and put yourself out there.

"I’m absolutely thrilled with my results and that I’m now off to study
Computer Science at Manchester. It’s the course I’ve always
wanted to do.”

Do not let your background limit what you aim for. Take initiative early and explore what genuinely interests you, even outside the classroom. Don’t be discouraged by failure, as it’s one of the best ways to grow and build resilience. Try not to lose confidence after setbacks, as perspective and determination can take you just as far as anyone else.
