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 allowing 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 also want our pupils to be proud members of the community they are from and treat others with respect and kindness.
Wednesfield Academy is a proud partner of Barr Beacon SCITT - a highly successful and ambitious School Centred Initial Teacher Training programme working with over 50 schools to offer primary and secondary training. Last year, 96% of BBSCITT's trainees successfully gained a position as an ECT, of which 76% were within the SCITT partnership.
In attending one of our school experience days, it is expected that you are currently considering applying to our SCITT.
About our school experience
- Details
-
Potential applicants who visit Wednesfield Academy will be able to observe lessons and talk with teachers about training to be a teacher at Wednesfield Academy and with Barr Beacon SCITT.
All potential applicants will meet with a school leader to discuss training with Barr Beacon SCITT and understand the programme and the ITT curriculum in more detail.
We host these on specific days to ensure our availability. We will endeavour to allow you to observe your subject, however, depending on the classes available you may be observing teaching outside of your subject. This will still allow you to see what makes Wednesfield Academy such a special place to train to be a teacher. - Start and finish times
