“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.

Matrix Academy Trust’s vision is Education Without Exception. We want the best for every child regardless of where they were born, how much money they do or don’t have and who they are (gender, sex, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation). If you share our relentless drive for school improvement, we would love to hear from you.

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.

One of the latest schools to join the Trust in January 2023, Wednesfield Academy is at an exciting stage of its journey. This is the ideal opportunity for people who want to share in the excitement of turning a school around. 

We are committed to fostering a culture that values the health and well-being of all employees at Matrix Academy Trust. We are proud to offer a comprehensive well-being package to all employees, including access to 24/7 online GP, physiotherapy services and counselling services. We also offer all employees annual health checks which includes the flu jab, BMI checks and a general discussion with a qualified Nurse.

You may also wish to contact him to arrange an informal look at the school for yourself.
