Wayland Academy

I have been walking through these doors for 15yrs, 10 of those as the Principal and today I say farewell. I wish the best to all of the Wayland pupils and families in the future. I have been fortunate to have an amazing team and I will miss them all. 👋

On Wednesday, Wayland Academy hosted the mid-Norfolk Tag Rugby Festival. The event was a great success with every fixture being refereed by our Year 10 GCSE PE students. The feedback from the event organiser and the Primary Schools teaching staff was excellent!
