Matrix Collab Dance Performance

Dance students from across the Matrix Academy Trust came together on Monday 21st November at Turves Green Boys School to perform in a collaborative project. Each school was assigned a section of ‘Celebrate’ by Pitbull to choreograph and perform, before all coming together as one to learn and perform the final section. The event saw over 100 students come together and share their passion for dance. Students thoroughly enjoyed the experience of performing in front of others and making new friends. The overall performance shows the motivation and commitment that these students have for the subject.

Matrix Cadets Pay Their Respects

On a blustery autumn morning, over one hundred cadets and staff from four of our schools braved the high winds and cold to pay their respects to those who have given the most to our communities and country within the armed forces and emergency services. At this time, we also remembered those innocent civilians who lost their lives in the crossfire of conflict.

This year, our Armistice Day parade was held at Barr Beacon School in Walsall and was attended by the Headteachers from Barr Beacon School, Bloxwich Academy, Dame Elizabeth Cadbury School, Etone College and Turves Green Boys’ School. Major (Ret) Simon Cuthbert of the West Midlands Cadet Expansion Programme attended as the inspecting officer, and our CEO Ms Lynsey Draycott was also in attendance. It was a proud moment for all of the cadets. 

The parade was commanded by Flt Lt Muller. Ms Broome of Barr Beacon School (a Veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq) conducted The Act of Remembrance. All of the cadets and staff marked the two minutes silence before Maj Cuthbert addressed the parade about the importance of remembrance and how smart all of the cadets looked whilst on parade.

LEST WE FORGET.

Gold School Games Award

We are delighted to announce, Bloxwich Academy Primary have been awarded the ‘Gold School Games Mark’ award for the 2021-2022 academic year. 

The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward and recognise school’s engagement (provision and uptake) in the School Games against a national benchmark and to celebrate keeping young people active, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success. 

Some of our successful school sport achievements this year have included: 

The KS2 Girls football team being unbeaten in all games played across the academic year! 

Boys and girls winning football tournaments at Beacon primary school without losing a game! 

An amazing turnout for both boys and girls’ football & rugby clubs increasing participation for all! 

At Bloxwich Academy Primary we are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of physical activity and school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our events possible. As a school, we are committed to using the School Games to try and engage those young people who haven’t previously been active or represented our school and to try and ensure that all our students have a positive experience and want to try out new activities beyond school too in our community. We believe in the power of physical activity and school sport as a school and give opportunities to those young people that need it most either as a participant, leader, official or volunteer. 

As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas linked to the five School Games outcomes and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year. 

Ms Shepherd would like to thank all the staff at Bloxwich Academy Primary for their dedication to teach outstanding PE lessons and taking their own time to offer a wide variety of extra-curricular activities. To all the parents and children for their hard work and efforts achieving this award – we couldn’t have done it without you! Special thanks go to Mr Baugh and Miss Machin for overseeing, organising and leading the PE throughout the year. Well done for all your hard work! 

We look forward to applying once again in 2023! 

Uniform Reminder

Upon pupils’ return on Monday 31st October all pupils should have full equipment, including a bag big enough
to carry an A4 folder. They should ensure they have a fully equipped pencil case and carry their academy
planner around every day. Please note, stationery can be purchased from our school shop so no pupil should be
unprepared for their school work.

Please see below a list of our uniform requirements that must be adhered to:

  • Black blazer with school badge
  • White polyester/cotton shirt
  • School Tie, displaying six stripes (house colours)
  • Black school trousers (NOT ‘skinny fit’ or ‘drainpipe’ style)
  • Black school skirt (MUST be of knee length)
  • Black tights (NO patterns)
  • Black school Shoes (NO canvas pumps or trainers)
  • Large school bag (big enough for an A4 folder)
  • No nose studs (or a clear transparent one)
  • Earrings should be a single stud in the ear lobe
  • We do not advise pupils bring any jewellery and the most we permit is one small ring (no sovereign) and no bracelets. For more information on what is acceptable uniform please visit: https://bloxwichacademy.co.uk/secondary-uniform/
  • We do recommend this before purchasing new shoes as retailers sometimes have different ideas on what is seen as school footwear.

Please note that pupils failing to meet the standards that are expected on uniform and being ready to learn, with
appropriate equipment, will face sanctions such as being placed in Reflection or detentions.

GCSE Results 2022

An amazing set of results for Year 11!

Through their continued hard work and dedication, we have seen an increased number of our pupils achieve top grades at GCSE.  

We are delighted to report that our Year 11s have, on average, performed significantly better than any other year group in the history of the academy (within a formal exam season).  This is a massive achievement, especially considering the fact that schools across the country are still feeling the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

We could not be more proud of our pupils, the vast majority of which will be continuing their studies with us at post-16.    We have also seen a huge increase in the proportion of our pupils opting to study the most challenging A-levels within our successful and ever-growing Sixth Form. 


Mr S. Martin, Deputy Headteacher, stated

I am absolutely delighted with the fantastic grades achieved by our pupils at Bloxwich Academy.  They have worked so hard throughout their time with us, and thoroughly deserve their success today.  I am incredibly proud of them all!


Mr A. Seager, Headteacher, stated

The brilliant results are a testament to the dedication and efforts of our pupils, parents and staff.  I am delighted to see that so many of our pupils have achieved the grades necessary to gain a place within our Sixth Form, and am certain that they will all continue to be the best that they can be!
