On Friday 26th September, Bloxwich Academy held a Macmillan Read, Coffee and Cake morning. We invited our year 7 parents to enjoy a session of reading with their child in our school library. Mrs Hibbs joined the event and read the first chapter of Marcus Rashford’s You are a Champion. Pupils then read to their parents and enjoyed a warm drink and a cake. It was a wonderful morning, full of discussion, reading, laughter and obviously delicious cake. Please continue to check back on our social media pages for future events.

On Monday 15th September Bloxwich Academy welcomed Daniel Caines a former Olympian, World Champion in the 400m and European Champion in the 4x 400m relay. He delivered an inspirational assembly and workshop for our year 11 pupils. Daniel shared his journey in the athletics world, starting at a young age, to the triumphant achievements he was able to secure. Daniels key message to our pupils focused on the journey to success, which inevitable can include setbacks. He spoke about the resilience needed to go beyond these setbacks to be able to achieve the ultimate goal. Daniel explained to our pupils that it was important to “dot the I’s and cross the T’s” and “sweat the small stuff” to be successful in your goals. We hope our pupils can look back on the outstanding and motivational assembly, reflecting on how they can overcome their own setbacks to work towards their own achievements linking to the school moto of “Be The Best You Can Be.” Thank you Daniel for taking the time to be an inspiration to both our pupils and the staff.

Our Success Centre students took a smash-tastic field trip to a Rage Room—and wow, did they let loose! Armed with bats, hammers, and plenty of giggles, they turned old breakables into a million sparkling pieces (all under the watchful eye of safety gear, of course).

It wasn’t just fun—it was epic. Smashing, crashing, and laughing their way through the session, our students discovered the joy of breaking things without getting in trouble for it.

At the end of our first full week, we celebrated the pupils with the highest total of positive points with tokens to our book vending machine!

Pupils and staff are celebrating after a greatly improved set of results this year. Pupils achieving the top grades of 9 to 7 has more than doubled whilst grades at 9 to 5 have also significantly increased compared to the results of last academic year.

Headteacher Mr Till commented;

"A lot of time, effort and energy has been expended, from both staff and pupils, to secure these results. It is pleasing to see so many happy faces as our pupils secure places in their first choice sixth forms, colleges or apprenticeships"

A number of pupils performed well across all of their subjects these include; 

• G Cavagnini who secured 4 grade 9s, 2 grade 8s, 2 grade 7s and a Distinction
• R Buttery achieved 3 grade 9s, 3 grade 8s, 1 grade 7 and 1 grade 6
• E Oyewole-Omodunni achieved 3 grade 9s, 3 grade 8s, 1 grade 7 and 1 grade 6
• J Dukes secured 3 grade 8s and 5 grade 7s.

Well done to all who collected their results today and we wish them the best of luck in their next stage in their education, training or employment.

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.
