ATTENDANCE MATTERS

Attendance Matters

Excellent Attendance Reaps Rewards

Well done to the vast majority of pupils who have attended school every day this year so far; Year 7 are certainly leading the way and Year 11 are a close second (especially important with the forthcoming examinations on the horizon).

After talking with a number of pupils over the last few weeks, we are about to launch a new package of rewards for great attendance, alongside also rewarding pupils with improved attendance – watch this space!

We know that pupils fall behind their friends and classmates when they miss school. At Bloxwich Academy, we want the amount of missed education to be reduced as much as possible. We believe that our community is stronger together, with all of our pupils in school, on time, every day. We are building life skills, life-long friendships and preparing your child for future success.

Please email attendance@bloxwichacademy.co.uk if there is anything we can do to support you or your child.

Year 4 Molineux Football Stadium Trip

On Thursday 28th September Year 4 students embarked on a school trip to the Molineux football stadium, home ground of Wolverhampton Wanderers. The children had the chance to explore the world of football, learn about the history of the stadium, and even witness the inner workings of a professional football club. Children discovered all the different careers that exist within such a successful football club, hopefully inspiring them to aim for the stars in terms of their future career. It was a fantastic experience that added a real-world dimension to their learning.

Macmillan Coffee Morning

Today Bloxwich Academy pupils raised money for Macmillan by holding a cake stall at break time. They provide services for people living with cancer at every stage of their cancer experience. Macmillan is 98% funded by voluntary donations, so fundraising is essential to make sure they can deliver the vital support people living with cancer need. The pupils wanted to support this charity and follow our Bloxwich values in this Academy

Far-From-Home

Matrix ‘Far From Home’ – Turing 2023-24

Sweden, Italy, Peru

We are delighted to announce that, for the third year running, Matrix Academy Trust has had another successful Turing bid.

The Turing Scheme is the UK government’s programme to provide funding for international opportunities in education and training across the world. It supports Global Britain by providing an opportunity for UK organisations from the higher education, further education, vocational education and training and schools sectors to offer young people  life-changing experiences.

This year, pupils in Year 8 from across Matrix schools will be visiting Sweden. Year 10 will be exploring ancient history in Italy. Year 12 students will be travelling around the world to Peru.

We chose ‘Far From Home’ as the name of our 2023-24 Turing project because we are committed to promoting an international outlook with our pupils. For our young people to be successful, we need to do whatever we can to broaden their horizons – and one way of doing this is to take them ‘far from home’. We will be making sure the pupils who are selected to go on these visits will be those that will benefit most from them.

More information about these opportunities will be shared in September.
