We are incredibly proud of two Bloxwich Academy students who attended the House of Lords as finalists in the prestigious STEM Like Us Mentoring Programme.

Over the past two years, our students have taken part in the programme, developing their confidence, skills and aspirations. As part of the final showcase event, Felicity (Year 10) presented her innovative ideas on how Burberry could integrate Artificial Intelligence into its business, demonstrating outstanding creativity, research and presentation skills.

The students were rewarded for their hard work with a traditional afternoon tea and Amazon vouchers in recognition of their commitment and achievements throughout the programme.

The visit also gave them the opportunity to explore some of London's most iconic landmarks, including Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.

Congratulations to both students for representing Bloxwich Academy so brilliantly. We are extremely proud of everything they have achieved!

What a fantastic evening at the Bloxwich Academy Secondary Creative Arts Showcase was had last week! 🌟 The Creative Arts team and pupils put on an incredible display of talent, with outstanding dance performances, beautiful vocal pieces, engaging drama productions, and a stunning art exhibition. A wonderful celebration of creativity, hard work, and passion—well done to everyone involved, despite the heat, a fantastic evening was had by all! 🎭🎶💃🎨👏

Our Year 9 pupils recently visited the Encyclis Rookery Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) in Bedfordshire for a fantastic day of learning about sustainability, waste management, and energy production.

The visit began at the Visitor Information Centre, where students explored a range of interactive exhibits and learned about the journey of waste, the importance of reducing and recycling materials, and how energy can be recovered from non-recyclable waste. The sessions provided valuable insight into the environmental challenges facing society and the innovative solutions being developed to address them.

Following the visitor centre activities, pupils were taken on a guided tour of the ERF itself. Seeing the facility in operation gave students a real-world understanding of the engineering and technology involved in transforming waste into energy. The tour also highlighted the wide range of careers available within the environmental, engineering, and energy sectors. The experience was both educational and inspiring, helping students connect classroom learning with practical applications and encouraging them to think about the role they can play in creating a more sustainable future.

We would like to thank everyone at Encyclis Rookery ERF for their warm welcome and for providing such an informative and engaging visit.

Friday 3rd 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.

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 Jilali stole the show with "The Worm"

With celebrations, dancing and of course the rodeo bull, we will hold many magical memories of this evening. 

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. We are looking forward to seeing you on GCSE results day. 

Today, 23 Year 10 students had the fantastic opportunity to visit the University of Birmingham as part of our ongoing programme to raise aspirations and explore future pathways.

The visit included a guided tour of the university campus, giving students a real insight into what studying at university is like. They also took part in a Q&A session with current university students, who shared their experiences, offered advice, and answered questions about university life.

Students attended informative sessions covering the university application process, student finance and funding opportunities, and the many benefits of higher education. They learned about the support available to students, the wide range of courses on offer, and the opportunities that university life can provide both academically and personally.

The day was an excellent opportunity for our students to explore their future options, gain a better understanding of higher education, and be inspired by current students who have successfully taken this next step in their educational journey.

We would like to thank the University of Birmingham for hosting such an informative and engaging visit. Our students represented the school brilliantly and gained valuable knowledge to support their future aspirations. 

A small group of Y7 pupils went to the university of Wolverhampton to take part in an inclusion sports festival. They spent the whole day trying a range of sports such as seated volleyball, tchoukball and boccia. This was an amazing opportunity for our students to experience a range of different sports, work amazingly as a team and represent our academy!
