Wingfield U14 Girls Football Team will be playing away against Wickersley this Thursday,  kick-off is at 3:45pm.

Wingfield Academy’s Year 7 Boys progressed to the next round of the English Schools’ FA Cup with a comprehensive 7-2 home victory against Oakwood High School.

Jack Dudhill was the standout player in an excellent team performance, notching four goals on his way to the hotly contested man of the match award with a stellar all-round performance, while Irfan Bogle scored the goal of the afternoon with an inswinging free kick from well outside the area.

Despite suffering an early setback with Oakwood opening the scoring, Wingfield showed resilience to dig in and never looked back once the scores were level, carrying a two goal lead into the break at 3-1.

Lesser teams may have relaxed and let the opponents back into the match but Wingfield extended their lead with all 14 squad players playing a key role in the victory which sees the boys head into the next stage of the competition.

In an attempt to remove all cash and cheques from school and to make paying for school visits, music lessons, bus fares etc. easier for parents/carers we are asking all parents/carers to sign up to ParentPay.  (Please note: the school meals payment system remains the same, unfortunately you will not be able to pay for school meals via ParentPay).

This week your child should have brought home an activation letter, which gives you information about logging into ParentPay.  If you require any further information please contact the school finance team who will be happy to help.

Dangerous Road Traffic Congestion – Wingfield Road

Dear Parent/Carer,

The Academy is gravely concerned with the dangerous and negligent behaviours of some parent/carers at the start and the end of the school day. Road traffic congestion has increased significantly and student safety is being severely compromised.

There is increased congestion due to larger numbers of students accessing the Academy due to its ever increasing positive reputation, the Academy operates a School Bus which transports out of catchment students to school and more parents/carers are choosing to drop children off directly adjacent to the school gates. This behaviour is both dangerous and negligent.

We are working closely with Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council and our Community Police Officers to ensure our students are able to access the Academy in complete safety.

Please Do Not:-

• Park on the yellow diagonal lines at any point.
• Drop students directly outside the school gate.

Please Do:-

• Drop students off in a safe location, well away from the entrance to the school site.
• Be considerate of the School Bus and designated parking location (outside the Keppel Public House).
• Prioritise the safety of our school community by driving safety.

Please support the Academy in ensuring that no student receives significant harm or injury as a result of dangerous driving and the none observance of the Highway Code.

Yours sincerely,

Phil Davis (Headteacher)
