Year 7 Residential Trip Gets Off to an Incredible Start!

Our Year 7 pupils have had an fantastic start to their residential trip, enjoying a fun-filled day packed with adventure, excitement and teamwork!

The day was full of exciting challenges, with pupils putting their skills and courage to the test during an action-packed game of laser tag, conquering the climbing wall and taking on the thrilling giant swing. There were plenty of smiles, cheers and moments of achievement along the way!

Teamwork was also at the heart of the day as pupils worked together to design and build their own rafts, demonstrating fantastic communication, collaboration and problem-solving skills.

After a busy day of activities, everyone came together to relax around a cosy campfire, sharing stories, laughter and making memories with their friends.

We are incredibly proud of the enthusiasm, positive attitudes and excellent behaviour shown by all our pupils. They have represented the school brilliantly and should be very proud of themselves.

Day 2 of our residential! 

Another action packed day full of fun and challenges, including axe throwing, rock climbing, archery and trapeze, followed by a silent disco to finish the day! 

It’s been a chilly one, so a huge well done to all our pupils for braving the elements, getting stuck in and making the most of every activity!

Year 10 Aspire to HE session 1

Today, we were delighted to welcome Tom from the University of Wolverhampton to Bloxwich Academy for the first session of the Future Thinking - Aspire to HE programme. Thirty Year 10 students took part in an engaging and thought-provoking workshop focused on exploring future pathways, understanding the importance of GCSEs, and discovering the opportunities available through Further and Higher Education.

Students reflected on their future goals, considered different post-16 routes including sixth form, college and apprenticeships, and began thinking about the steps they can take to achieve their ambitions. The session marks the start of a six-week programme designed to raise aspirations and support informed decision-making about the future.

A huge thank you to Tom and the University of Wolverhampton for inspiring our students and helping them to become the best version of their future selves!
