Because of the low uptake of the Year 8 ICT PGL visit, PGL have said that we could go for 3 days instead of the full week.  The total cost for this would be £229.

If you are interested in this visit at the reduced price please click on the link and fill the form in so I get an idea of numbers.  I will contact you with details when I have final figures.

We have become aware there has been a confirmed case of mumps within the school. At least 1 other child has also had symptoms of mumps. We have spoken to the Health Protection Agency (HPA) and they advise you ensure your child has had 2 doses of MMR vaccination.

In addition, children with mumps should be excluded from school for 5 days after the onset of swelling. Your GP can request a saliva testing kit to confirm the diagnosis.

Further information about Mumps is available on the HPA site:

General Mumps Information

Information about the MMR vaccine is available on the NHS choices website:

Completed applications should be returned direct to the school, clearly stating if you wish to apply for the full-time or part-time post. Click here for more details: Vacancies

It has come to the schools attention that an individual is using Facebook to act as an "Agony Aunt" to students, some of which attend Great Wyrley High School. The person is calling themselves "Aggie Agony Aunt". We are advising students, parents and carers to use the Facebook reporting system and the CEOP button to report this person because we have no way of verifying who they are. The CEOP button is available on the school website and is located on the left-hand side of this page. Thank you for your understanding and support.

We would like to invite you all to visit www.edaljimedia.com to see and hear the work of our older music, art and media students. We are proud of their achievements and would like to share their success with you!

Great Wyrley Performing Arts High School is trialling a new and innovative method of sharing information with our parents/carers. For the next 30 days you may receive information regarding your son's/daughter's performance at school as well as updates about forthcoming events. We hope you find this service useful.
