"Excellent School and Supportive Staff"

We have been impressed with the school's approach to wellbeing and workload for staff. Our child's teacher has been fantastic and always available to talk. The facilities are great too, with a lovely sports hall and excellent ICT resources.

"Not Impressed with Transition Process"

While our child is happy at the school, we've been disappointed with the transition process from primary school. The induction process was a bit disorganised and we felt a bit lost for a while. However, the teachers and staff are lovely and the facilities are great.

"Helped Our Son Succeed"

We moved our son to Wednesfield Academy when he was struggling in his previous school. The teachers and support staff were fantastic and helped him to turn his grades around. He's now at university and we're so grateful for the school's support.
