Wren Academy specialises in architecture

Wren Academy specialises in architecture. All are classrooms have huge windows in them for light, safety and also to make sure there is no bullying going on (which has never happened in our school before). Students learn about the school's unique structure during focus days and in ADT (Art Design Technology) lessons. This allows us to learn another interesting subject which other schools don't have a chance to learn.

Children In Need 2011 Update

Charity fundraising enrichment has arranged a cake sale on November 18^th for Children In Need - Break time in the restaurant - cakes start at £1.

We would really like you to join in because every penny you give will make a change!

The first ever Children In Need was a 5 minute radio broadcast in 1927, the first televised Children In Need was in 1950. 

How good is Wren Academy?

Wren Academy is a great school because they make it exciting for all their students as they are always doing focus days and events where important people visit us. In the 2nd year of Wren Academy (2009), SOPHIE McKENZIE visited us and she talked about her inspiration to writing books like "Girl Missing" and "Blood Ties". Then in the 3rd year of Wren Academy (2010), JOE CRAIG visited us and talked about how you might get stuck in English when the teacher tells you to write a story; so he explained how to make it easier for us when in that situation. He also talked about his "Jimmy Coates" book series. 
This is now the 4th year for Wren Academy and we're going to be visited by an Olympic athlete!
Who knows who might visit us next?!

Table Tennis

At Wren Academy, on break times and lunch times you can play table tennis. Each break or lunch a different year and house will play. Anybody can participate, it doesn't matter whether you're a boy or a girl.

Year 7 Football Match

On 11th of October the Year 7 football team went to Ashmole School and played a successful 2-1 win.


It was a tough match.  We went 2-0 up before half time.  It was a tense second half when there was a sudden break for our opponents.  Joe, one of our defenders, went to close the ball down.  He failed.  The ball was crossed down the wing  then played back into the middle and they scored from a header.We carried on with our heads high to hold of a brilliant team and win 2-1.

Yr7 Focus Day: St Paul's cathedral

On Monday 17th October Wren Academy had a focus day and the Year 7's went to St Paul's Cathedral and their House church. We learnt lots of new things like St Mary's Le Bow was the second most expensive church that Sir Christopher Wren designed. One of the main things we did when we were there was drawing the church and the parts of the building.

Here are pictures of the places we visited:

Focus day number two: Year 10

This focus day Year 10 were learning about drugs, the law, what effects there are and how it has ruined lives. We had a number of visitors. Darren Gold told Year 10 about his experience with drugs and how his children are the best highs he ever had and how he regrets his drug-taking. We also had a police officer who has been coming to Wren Academy since we were in Year 7 and most people know her from primary school. Officer Siobhan taught Year 10s about drugs and the law; she used examples about how they hid drugs in their clothes and how police officers would stop at nothing to find them. Also we had the Wren Academy teachers lead an activity which involved a photo story and in groups you had to create still images to show how to solve risks and how you should do the right thing. They also made us recognise the types of drugs and what to stay away from.

Yr 7 focus day to St. Paul's and St. Andrews

Y8 Football

I am afraid to say that with the football this week the Year 8 footbal team lost 5:0 to East Barnet, this is our worst loss and we are sorry that we  did not win the match. We put in 120% effort but we couldn't get a goal in the net.

New Fronter

Our school uses a website called Fronter to give out some of our Home learning, and other schools may have used this too, and have probably noticed that it has completely changed. It's layout has changed and for some people it is a hassle, but it's probably going to be one of those things where we're going to have to get used to it.
