Welcome to
The Wordsley School
High Expectations + Challenge = Success
VIRTUAL OPEN EVENING
Hello Year 6!
We can't hold our usual Open Evening or Open Mornings this year, so we have produced a video. It's the next best thing!
You may also like to see what you would be studying in Year 7. We've picked out the key bits and have added it here.
We know starting secondary school is a big thing and we want to help you as much as we can with this change. We would love to hear your questions about life at The Wordsley School. Ask your parent/guardian to contact us.
We can't wait to meet you all.

Please find attached some information that will be of interest to you as we move into the second half of this term.

Dudley moves to Tier 2 restrictions
As it has been announced, Dudley will be moving to Tier 2 (high) restrictions on the national Covid-19 alert system from Saturday 31st October. When your child returns to school on Monday 2nd October, it will be compulsory for them to wear a face covering when moving around the school building. They can be removed in lessons or at lunch time, when seated and eating.
We thank you again for your trust and support in keeping our school community safe.
Our Philosophy
Everyone has the right to learn
We educate young people to the highest standard to ensure that their potential is realised.
Everyone shows respect for others
We value all pupils equally and constantly promote a sense of purpose, self-confidence and shared values.
Everyone takes responsibility for their actions
We expect hard work and highest standards of attendance, behaviour, punctuality and appearance.
House Point Totals
We're really proud of the achievements from our pupils.
We recognise them through the awarding of Achievement Points and Attitude to Learning Points.
These get turned into House Points.
