Pupils at Bloxwich Academy will join millions of people across the UK learning about the impact of road crashes and celebrating the work of people who support after a road crash, during this year’s Road Safety Week. Organised by Brake, the road safety charity, Road Safety Week 2024 runs from 17–23 November, beginning with the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims on Sunday 17 November.

Bloxwich Academy will be educating pupils on the impact of Road Safety. We will be focusing on the dangers of the roads around the area, and the strategies to ensure our pupils remain safe.
Over the next 2 weeks, pupils will be looking at the dangers of travelling in and around the community, the emergency response teams that support individuals and how we can protect ourselves and others.

As pupils gear up for the move from primary to secondary school, it’s a mix of excitement and uncertainty. This shift marks a big change, with new faces, routines, and challenges awaiting. To ease this transition, schools offer orientation programs and transition days. These initiatives help pupils get familiar with their new surroundings, meet teachers and peers, and ask questions, easing their anxiety.

At Bloxwich Academy, we wanted to ensure that pupils really can be the best they can be. This is why we introduced our ‘Welcome to Bloxwich postcard’. Postcards have been sent to all pupils so they can ask questions, but also share what they are looking forward too.

We want to create a welcoming and inclusive environment within the school community. By prioritizing support and resources, we can ensure pupils feel confident and ready for this next chapter.

The secondary site look forward to our transition days where we can meet our new Y7s.
