The Academy now has all four year groups on site, Year 10 through to Year 13 and is growing rapidly. The Academy received its first Ofsted inspection in February 2019 and is rated Good in all areas.

The Science Department at WMG is a forward thinking, enthusiastic and ambitious department.  The team includes specialists in Chemistry, Biology and Physics and is supported by a dedicated Science Technician.  The department has 4 brand new science laboratories with state of the art specialist equipment.  Learning is enhanced in all science areas with new PCs, AV equipment, projectors and access to specialist departments at Warwick University.
