The Wordsley School will be hosting its 2025 open evening on Wednesday 24th September 2025, which will support prospective parents/carers of pupils who may wish to join in September 2026. Wordsley School aims to be a school that focuses on people and relationships. We are very inclusive and have high expectations for pupils, both academically and behaviourally. Staff at the school are committed to providing a high standard of education and care passionately about the academic and wider development of pupils.
At Wordsley, our aim is to find what each student loves to do and give them the opportunity to do more of it. We expect a lot of our pupils in terms of their behaviour and uphold standards, as we believe every child deserves a calm and purposeful environment in which to learn. Wordsley offers a full range of subjects at Key Stage 3, with the opportunity to then specialise at Key Stage 4. While academic at its core, the curriculum offers opportunities to study the performing arts, sport, and technological subjects. A thriving extra-curricular program further develops pupils’ talents and interests. A wide range of trips and visits also provide opportunities beyond the classroom. This includes trips within the West Midlands, wider UK, and abroad.
Children at The Wordsley School are happy and well supported. We focus on understanding every individual’s strengths and challenges so they can quickly and happily feel part of our school community. This is why we focus on the transition between Years 6 and 7, as we know how scary the move to ‘big’ school can be. From the moment school places are offered, we are in touch. Visits to primary schools, transition days, and summer school are offered to help pupils be ready to join us. Pupils with SEND are also offered additional opportunities to help them integrate and feel settled in their new environment. We want to make pupils feel part of our community before they even join us.
We are so excited to be welcoming parents and carers to our school so that you can truly capture the essence of what makes The Wordsley School so very special within our community. The open evening will provide you with an opportunity to meet with the Headteacher, Ashley Weatherhogg, a wide range of staff and pupils, and to see the amazing things that our young people achieve whilst they are with us. This is such an exciting time to be joining our school, and owing to the school’s success and popularity, 2021 saw the opening of our new English block, library, and sports centre, which has been built to support the increasing number of pupils who wish to be part of our thriving school community.
We are also offering open morning tours from Monday 29th September to Friday 3rd October 2025. To reserve a place, please visit our website now or contact our school reception from Monday 8th September. We look forward to welcoming you to our school.
