“Success is a science; if you have the right conditions, you get the result.” So said Oscar Wilde and we say the same.
To really inspire the next generation of scientists you need an environment with the right conditions. You need an environment where pupils genuinely want to learn. An environment in which your colleagues are as geeky about your subject as you are. These are the conditions that we can provide for practitioners who join us at Wednesfield Academy.
We want people who are similarly driven. We want people who will not only grow the next generation but people who are also eager to take every opportunity to grow themselves. We offer superb professional development opportunities, including the full suite of NPQs.
