We are happy to launch the brand new Bloxwich Academy website. We hope this makes communication between school, parents and pupils easier and more effective.  Our website is updated on a weekly basis so please use this to stay up to date with everything going on around school. Our school letters will be uploaded onto the website so you can stay informed along with regular news and event details.

Along with the new website launch, we have also joined some new social media platforms so we can really shout about the successes of everyday life at Bloxwich Academy, please take a few moments to follow us on the following platforms.

• Twitter – @bloxwichacademy
• Facebook – @bloxwichacademy
• Instagram – @Bloxwich_Academy

We would also like to introduce our new weekly news section of the website that will showcase what the children are doing in class, provide them with weekly challenges and keep you updated with upcoming event dates.  This will replace the Bloxwich Bugle and the new section will become Bloxwich Beats – the beating heart of Bloxwich Primary.

We hope these updates will help with the continuing growth of Bloxwich Academy and always striving to ‘be the best we can be’.

Reminder – We will be closed to pupils on Friday 29th November 2019 for a staff training day.

Our Year 6 pupils held their Remembrance assembly last week in memory of all those who were lost and fought in the war. The children read out poems and shared what they had learnt about the different coloured Poppy’s and what they signify they then played ‘The Last Post’ to signal the start of our two-minute silence. We are very proud of all our pupils who showed great respect during the assembly.

We have collated a range of resources to keep you occupied this half term.
Take a look through some of our favourites and share your creations with us on Twitter: @bloxwichacademy.

Year 2 led a fantastic Harvest Festival assembly for the school and their parents on Friday 4th October 2019.

Through words and song, the children explained the importance of Harvest perfectly. We would like to thank parents for their attendance and generous donations.

Our Early Years Team have been working extremely hard over the summer to create a better learning environment for Reception and Nursery classes.

We would like to congratulate them on the fantastic job that they have done. The classrooms look brilliant, so well done everybody!

Year 6 put on a show stopping end of year performance of ‘The Rocky Monster Show’ this week. After weeks of rehearsals and planning they pulled off a fantastic celebration show with loads of monstrous numbers.

On the run up to the show various activities took place at school to champion the pupils performing arts success. We had a set designer in school who has worked on Oscar and BAFTA winning design teams. Working on films such as World War Z and Snow White and the Huntsman.

On the afternoon of the show day, pupils also had a visit from a makeup artist and hair stylist helping them look their very best for the big performance.

A selection of photographs from the performance can be found below.

Year 5 have had a wonderful few days at Woodlands Adventure park taking part in an array of team building activities.

The residential trip provided the perfect opportunity for our pupils to grow and develop. Education outside the classroom is key to developing well-rounded young people and it creates a balanced curriculum. Outdoor learning and immersion into outdoor activities really did give our students the opportunity to shine.

We are sure everyone had a lovely time and will be sharing some of their thoughts from the trip in an upcoming Bugle along with lots more photographs.
