As part of Science Week, our Primary Schools Sport and Education team hosted ten local schools at our Inner City Academy in Aston for a STEM event. Students had the opportunity to learn and engage with coding, safety around AI, football analysis, and more.
Our STEM delivery is funded by National Grid, and encourages creativity and curiosity around STEM and coding, using advancing technology in the form of programmable Sphero Bolts and Kubos to complete football-related challenges and activities.

We are heartbroken.
Diogo was adored by our fans, loved by his teammates and cherished by everyone who worked with him during his time at Wolves. The memories he created will never be forgotten.
Our hearts go out to the family, friends and loved ones of Diogo and his brother, Andre.
You will be truly missed, and always remembered.
A brilliant day at Molineux yesterday. It was a special occasion supporting two of our partner schools as they competed against other Premier League CCOs. Both teams displaying passion, pride, and purpose throughout. Our mixed team only losing to the eventual winners.
