The Officer Commanding (OC), Flight Lieutenant Hall of Bloxwich Academy Combined Cadet Force (BA CCF) has been in contact with the Royal British legion Bloxwich Branch (RBLBB) and is delighted to announce that the school and the RBLBB have been affiliated. 

This means that BA CCF and the wider school population can now be even more closely involved with the annual Poppy Collection and the Annual Service of Remembrance as the OC is the parade Marshall and committee member of RBLBB. This further strengthens the relationship from when BA CCF cadets have attended previously the parade. This affiliation will assist the school and the cadets in engaging in local community events, charity fundraising as well as supporting serving military personnel, military veterans and their families.  

With the presence of the RBLBB in the school this will allow cadets, staff and students to be a member of the RBLBB and will give cadets and pupils access to charitable funds to help support activities like the Duke of Edinburgh scheme, Combined Cadet Force and possibly trips to enrich their learning journey and their wider life enrichment. 

It is intended that a youth section of the Royal British Legion be set up, with the pupils having their own committee and running their own events.

Magic was created this week with Bloxwich’s very own production of Revolting Children. It was an interactive show of energy, excitement, and drama, with a super talented cast who fought against the injustice of Trunchbull’s cruel regime. After a period of time without a school musical production, it certainly did not disappoint, and a well-deserved standing ovation from the audience summed up the quality production from our performing Arts staff and immensely talented pupils.  

Thankfully, all the little maggots in the cast and audience managed to avoid the ‘Chokey’, but Miss Trunchball certainly gave a performance that will not be forgotten! 

Well done to all, we cannot wait for the next production. 

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 Thursday 14th September 2023 4:30pm – 7:30pm (No booking Required)

Open Mornings in October will take place between Monday 2nd – Friday 6th October 9:15-10:10am and Monday 9th – Friday 12th October 9:15-10:10am.

Tickets MUST be booked in advance for OPEN MORNINGS. A ticket must be booked for every person attending, including any children. As tickets are limited, please support us by booking only the number of tickets you need and keeping your party as small as possible. Please call reception to book your slot at one of our Open Mornings.

Year 7, 8 & 9 will be completing online learning at home on Friday 07/07/23 via Microsoft Teams due to industrial strike action. Year 10 must attend in full uniform with Mock exams going ahead as planned. 

This week, our new year 7 cadets were taught about field manoeuvres and patrol lane training as part of their induction into CCF at Bloxwich Academy. The cadets were taught pairs fire and manoeuvre in a leapfrog formation. They have also been practicing drill every week. They have been studying the rank structure in the RAF and communication training of the phonetic alphabet. We have loved having our new cadets. Looking forward to welcoming them and their parents on the 19^th July. Join us next week for drill and team sports! 

On Tuesday 27^th June, 43 Year 10 pupils travelled to the Millennium Point in Birmingham for an apprenticeship fair. Over 50 apprenticeship providers including The BT Group, NHS England and the Armed Forces were on hand to talk to pupils about the fantastic opportunities and career paths they can offer and what pupils need to do to secure an apprenticeship. This was a great chance for pupils to discuss potential career opportunities and to start considering their future plans after Bloxwich Academy. The pupils were a credit to the Academy and providers commented the maturity of pupils. 

Year 6 Induction Day will take place on Wednesday 5th July 8:50am-2:50pm.

Pupils should wear their current primary school uniform and bring a pencil case and water bottle. Lunch will be provided.

We look forward to meeting you all then.

Further information can be found on our Induction webpage.

Feast your eyes on some snapshots from our 2023 prom night. The gleaming exteriors of the expensive cars set the stage for a night filled with excitement. Who could forget the fire performer who captivated us with their skills, their artistry and fearless performance added an electrifying touch to the night. 🔥

Thank you to everyone who made this night an extraordinary one and a huge congratulations to our year 11 cohort. More photos to follow.
