Welcome to Wednesfield High School Website

Dear Parent/Carer,

Wednesfield High School is a Specialist Engineering School situated in the north east of Wolverhampton. We currently have over a thousand pupils on roll including 150 in the Sixth Form. We provide a high quality education to meet the needs of all our pupils within a framework that is both supportive and challenging. The school is proud to be the host school for Wolverhampton City Learning Centre. We have recently been accredited with the International School Award.

We believe every child is entitled to the best opportunities possible and we work hard to deliver that entitlement. We believe that we allow pupils the opportunity for real and meaningful success in every aspect of their education.
