Summer Term Parents Evening
The Hub@Wyrley Community Fridge
We are thrilled to announce that we are transforming the former caretaker’s building into a brand-new space for our local area called TheHub@Wyrley. Our first project is a Community Fridge, and we want you to be part of it!
🚀 Civic Action: This project is led by our Science Teacher, Claire Holmes, with help from her Mum and Dad (Joan and Pete). Zara Sands from Helping Hearts Food Bank was the inspiration for making this amazing project happen.
How it Works: It is a friendly club where everyone is welcome to shop, save money, and help the planet. 🌍
• Join: It costs just £2 to become a member for the whole year.
• Shop: Each time you visit, you give a small £5 contribution per bag of food
• Save: You will take home roughly £25 worth of high-quality food!

End of Term – Well Done, Great Wyrley!
As we finish today for the May half-term, we want to say a huge well done to all of our students and staff for another busy, challenging but incredibly rewarding term. 👏
It has been a term packed with learning, opportunities, events, trips, achievements and moments to be proud of across the academy. Our students have continued to show resilience, effort and commitment, and our staff have worked tirelessly to support them every step of the way.
A special mention goes to our Year 11 students, who are now fully underway with their GCSE exams. We are so proud of the focus, determination and maturity they are showing during such an important time. Keep going — you’ve got this! 💪📚
We hope everyone enjoys a well-earned break, takes time to rest, reset and recharge, ready for the final leg of the summer term.
Thank you to our students, staff, families and wider community for your continued support.
🌟 Have a lovely half-term break, Great Wyrley — we’ll see you soon!
