Stars in Our Schools is an annual celebration of school support staff. This year the event will take place on Friday 28 November 2025. Stars in Our Schools is an opportunity for us to recognise and reflect on the significant role of support staff in our school. Everyone from admin teams, catering teams, IT teams and academic support staff play an invaluable role in creating the best possible environment for our pupils and staff to flourish. They really are Stars in Our School who make a huge difference every day. We are lucky here at Bloxwich Academy Secondary to have such a strong support staff body who go above and beyond. We are thankful for the work they do with such quality and care each day. Thank you!

A huge thank you to Walsall College, Barr Beacon and Wednesfield 6th Forms for hosting our year 11 pupils for the next steps day. Our pupils were buzzing after experiencing a day with their chosen post-16 provider, and many have decided to apply and secure their place today.
