We will be holding a few open events this year to give all prospective Year 7 parents and pupils the chance to come and visit us. These events will give you a little insight into what is means to be a pupil at Bloxwich Academy and give you the chance to ask any questions you may have.

Open Evening will take place on Wednesday 17th September 2024 - 4pm – 7.30pm 

Open Mornings will take place on Monday 22nd September - Friday 26th September between 9:20 - 10:00am. Booking System COMING SOON.

Over the course of the Summer 2 term, staff competed in a Darts Tournament. Fixtures took place over 7 weeks in a straight knockout tournament. 

After some very competitive matches (and some less competitive ones), the final 4 staff made it to the semi finals. The draw saw Mr "Prime Time" Evans take on Mr "High Voltage" Stubley in Game 1 and Mr "Sir Bullseye" Knight take on Mr "The Power" Plant in Game 2. 

Prime Time kept up his good run of form and was finding doubles at ease and therefore dispatched the last SLT representative in the competition with a 3-1 victory over High Voltage. 

In the other semi final, Sir Bullseye did a great job of maintaining the PE departments reputation as elite sports people by securing a 3-0 victory over The Power, and rumours began swirling around the staff body that Sir Bullseye may be more than just a competent player. 

In a hotly anticipated final, there were some fantastic 3 dart scores right from the very first set with a high average being attained by both players. However, Sir Bullseye did what he did from the very start of the competition and floated in the necessary darts to the doubles he was aiming for to ensure a flattering 4-0 scoreline was achieved. Both players walked away with a huge amount of credit though due to the consistency and levels they reached.

Mr "Sir Bullseye" Knight took home the trophy for the inaugural Bloxwich Academy Staff Darts competition, and has set the marker for future editions!

A big thank you to all the staff who got involved and played all of the fixtures in a competitive manner but always in the right spirit. 

We look forward to seeing you all again for next years tournament, as well as hopefully some new additions who fancy their chances of claiming the trophy.

We are intending to close Bloxwich Academy’s sixth form because it is not viable, financially or otherwise. This will not disadvantage any pupils, all of who receive high quality, detailed careers guidance so they can make informed choices about their futures. In the last academic year, there were no pupils recruited to Bloxwich Academy’s sixth form; many instead chose to attend Wednesfield Academy, another of our schools, which is less than 10 minutes from Bloxwich Academy. Wednesfield has much better sixth form facilities and subject specialists for all subjects. Others, especially those favouring a vocational route, went to nearby colleges. This year’s Year 11 pupils have similarly chosen destinations beyond Bloxwich which will ensure they are able to realise their career aspirations.

The Department for Education specify a six- week consultation period. Therefore, if you have any responses, please send them to consultation@bloxwichacademy.co.uk by Friday 19th September 2025.

From 1st – 5th July, pupils from all Matrix Academy Trust schools, including Elmwood School who are joining the Matrix family in September, embarked on the final International trip of the 2024–2025 academic year. The 55 children experienced an unforgettable week in the heart of Italy.

During their time in Italy, students explored some of Rome’s most iconic landmarks, including the awe-inspiring Colosseum and the Pantheon. A hands-on gladiator school experience gave everyone a taste of ancient Roman life — a highlight for many, even with the heat!

Adventurous spirits were tested on the high ropes course, followed by visits to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and the lively Piazza Navona. Although a planned trip to the Vatican was sadly cancelled due to a metro line closure, spirits remained high. Instead, the group enjoyed a sunny afternoon on the beach at Ostia, where paddling in the sea proved the perfect way to end a packed itinerary.

The behaviour of all students was exemplary throughout the trip — a real credit to the Trust and to their schools. The final trip of this year was a resounding success, leaving everyone with memories that will last a lifetime – and a lot of enthusiasm to participate in next year’s adventures!

In their geography lesson, 8Y1 had the opportunity to participate in fieldwork around the school site. They considered the impact of human and physical factors on their surroundings, sketched a plan of the building to consider land use, and conducted a survey of movement around the academy. The behaviour of all pupils was outstanding and excellent work was produced by all.

Friday 4th July 2025 will hold memories for many of our Year 11 cohort. The prom got off to a glamourous start with glitzy cars, horses and beautiful outfits worn by all.  

Although we got to a rainy start, with the rain pouring down over our entrances, it did not dampen our spirits of the ability for us to enjoy the night ahead.  

As the night progressed, we enjoyed the food, ice-cream, slushies and of course the photobooth.  

Pupils and staff danced the night away starting with the crowning of the Prom King and Queen, followed by a spectacular dance off between the staff and pupils. I think we can all agree that our very own Mr Hall won the show! 

We would like to thank everyone who made the night a memorable evening. Congratulations to our Year 11 cohort and we wish you all the success in the future 

The sixth form leaving meal on Saturday 5^th July 2025 was a memorable and well-organized event that provided a perfect send-off after years of hard work and shared experiences. Decorum Restaurant was tastefully chosen, creating a relaxed yet celebratory atmosphere that brought students and staff together in a meaningful way.

What truly stood out was the sense of community and the reflective mood of the evening, celebrating both individual achievements and collective memories. The event struck the right balance between formal and fun, allowing everyone to feel appreciated and included.

Overall, the sixth form leaving meal was a fitting celebration of our journey and friendships. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in making it a special and unforgettable night. Good Luck Year 13 and see you on Results Day!

On Tuesday 7^th July, 34 Year 10 pupils at Bloxwich Academy were invited to take part in the LionHeart Challenge Walsall Grand Final. Bloxwich Community Partnership have funded the exciting event where pupils had the opportunity to work in groups to research, develop and plan an event for a local demographic. 

Pupils developed their ability to communicate, research local context and data and understand the financial requirements to run and market an event. This not only included the development of an event, but also how to market and advertise. All skills developed during the day are transferable to further their education and into the working environment. 

At the end of the event, each team had to present their event in full to the judging panel, which included local counsellors, The Mayor and Bloxwich Community Partnership. The groups were judged on their ability to balance finances, development of concept, marketing co-ordination and presentation of the project. 

The pupils represented themselves professionally and made Bloxwich Academy proud with their engagement and enthusiasm for the challenge.

Although Bloxwich Academy did not win the Grand Final, we had 2 teams come in joint second. Bloxwich Academy also won Best Marketing, Best Research Proposal and Most Effective Team. 

Thank you to the LionHeart Challenge and to Bloxwich Community Partnership for funding the event and allowing our pupils the opportunity to develop their skills beyond the classroom.
