Year 9s visit Sci-Fest

Our Year 9 students had a fantastic day out at Sci-Fest hosted by the University of Wolverhampton! The event was packed with exciting, hands-on science activities and interactive displays that brought STEM to life in the most engaging way. From exploring cutting-edge technology to getting stuck into chemistry experiments and physics puzzles, there was something to spark curiosity in every corner.

Students had the chance to speak with scientists, university staff, and STEM ambassadors, giving them a real insight into future careers and the world of scientific discovery. They attended University style lectures on various scientific fields, our very own Mr Bhatti got invited on stage to take part with L. Peers (9T1) in a demonstration.

Huge thanks to the University of Wolverhampton for such a well-organised, educational, and fun experience. We can’t wait to go back next year!

Big Bang Fair

This week, selected KS3 pupils attended the Big Bang Fair at the NEC in Birmingham. Pupils got to see and take part in experiments and workshops in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) and learn about careers relating to each subject. At the fair, there were flying footballs; robotic dogs; BBC broadcasting stations; dry ice-powered tracks; plant sensors; virtual reality games and AI technologies… just to name a few! It was a brilliant afternoon that pupils and staff both enjoyed. Well done all!

Staff Nosecco and Paint Workshop

Mrs Morris and Miss Redden from the Art department hosted a fantastic Nosecco and Paint workshop attended by just over 20 staff yesterday at the Academy. The standard of work produced by our clearly talented staff body was of an exceptionally high standard.

The event was part of the departments charity initiatives as well as running in conjunction with the Staff Wellbeing Group programme. 

We would just like to take this opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU to Mrs Morris and Miss Redden for such an incredible afternoon of enjoyment and providing an opportunity for staff to talk, laugh and relax. Our staff truly deserve it after all their hard work and dedication throughout this term.

Staff Wellbeing Group

At Bloxwich Academy, we have a Staff Wellbeing Group who meet at least twice each half term to discuss staff wellbeing. The team meet to discuss any current aspects of school life that are related to wellbeing and how these can be further improved to support colleagues at work. They also meet to discuss and plan staff wellbeing events that are put on over the course of the academic year, with the aim of providing a space and platform for staff to have time to invest in themselves away from their day to day teaching work. Recent examples of this have been events such as Nosecco and Paint, Staff Darts competition and staff breakfasts. We are proud of our proactive approach to staff wellbeing and we are grateful to the Staff Wellbeing Group, as a dedicated collection of professionals from different parts of the whole staff body, who have such a strong focus on wellbeing at Bloxwich Academy. This, in conjunction with our ongoing internal professional development, access to NPQs and being signed up to the DfE Staff Wellbeing Charter amongst other programmes and initiatives, are a clear indication of the importance we place on staff wellbeing.
