The Year 2 and 3 team have been busy getting creative this festive season! With the help of a cheeky elf, staff have written a delightful Christmas story filled with imagination and holiday cheer. We’re excited to share this story with you—please follow the link to enjoy the story.
Here at Bloxwich Academy Primary, our term has ended with a fantastic reading celebration: our first VIP Reading Cafe! Children who completed their Starbooks or Bookflix loyalty cards were invited to a truly magical session where they enjoyed a hot chocolate and marshmallows and had the chance to select a book of their choice. They also enjoyed sharing their reading with Mrs Shepherd and Miss Stott. A huge well done to our first attendees! We cannot wait to see who will be next to complete their loyalty cards and receive a special invite to the next VIP Reading Cafe!
On Monday, all the children from Nursery to Year 6 had a fantastic time visiting some very special animals – pygmy goats and alpacas! The children were full of excitement as they met the friendly animals, watched them up close, and learned more about how they live. There were lots of smiles and laughter, and it was a wonderful experience that everyone will remember.
In Nursery, we have been on a lovely journey aboard The Polar Express. The children truly got into the spirit of Christmas, using their imaginations and sharing lots of excitement along the way. To make our adventure extra special, we enjoyed a delicious cup of hot chocolate topped with yummy marshmallows. It was a magical experience filled with smiles, festive cheer, and wonderful memories. 🎄☕✨
Primary pupils were rewarded on their termly 'Good To Be Green' day with a choice of wide range of activities across the school. From cooking to DJ club, football to 'Hungry Hippos', crafting to construction and Mario Karts to karaoke, we celebrated the pupils' fantastic behaviour in style!
On Friday, 7th November 2025, all schools across our Trust came together to mark Remembrance Day — a time to honour and reflect on the courage and sacrifice of those who have served, and continue to serve, in our armed forces.
The event was led by the Cadet Forces from each school, who played a central role in the commemorations, including readings, the laying of wreaths, and leading the Trust-wide act of remembrance. Their pride, discipline, and respect set the tone for a moving and meaningful occasion.
At 11:00am, pupils, staff, and guests across the Trust joined together in the Two Minutes' Silence, uniting as one community to remember those who gave their lives in service of others.
We are incredibly proud of the way our schools came together — standing side by side to honour the past, reflect on the present, and look with hope towards the future. A huge thank you to Etone College for hosting the event and to Elmwood School for joining us for their first trust wide event.
"We will remember them."
Yesterday, we hosted a vibrant and engaging Diwali Parent Workshop that brought families together to celebrate the Festival of Lights. Parents had the opportunity to learn about the traditional art of Rangoli, exploring its cultural significance and the intricate designs that make it so special.
After the introduction, children and parents worked side by side to create their own beautiful Rangoli patterns, filling the room with colour, creativity, and community spirit. To round off the afternoon, Ms Fowler treated everyone to delicious samples of samosas and onion bhajis, offering a taste of traditional Indian cuisine.
It was a joyful event filled with learning, laughter, and a wonderful sense of togetherness — a perfect way to honour the Diwali celebration.
Last Friday we celebrated National Teaching Assistant Day. We took a moment across school to recognize the incredible contributions of our Teaching Assistants (TAs) who support learning, inspire our children, and help classrooms thrive every single day.
Whether helping with lesson preparation, working one-on-one with pupils, or providing a calm and consistent presence, TAs are essential to the success of our wonderful school.
🎉 A huge THANK YOU to all our TAs — your dedication, patience, and passion make a real difference.
As an appreciation of our gratitude, teachers made cards with pupils in their classes and bought gifts.
