Excellent Attendance Reaps Rewards

Well done to the vast majority of pupils who have attended school every day this year so far; Year 7 are certainly leading the way and Year 11 are a close second (especially important with the forthcoming examinations on the horizon).

After talking with a number of pupils over the last few weeks, we are about to launch a new package of rewards for great attendance, alongside also rewarding pupils with improved attendance – watch this space!

We know that pupils fall behind their friends and classmates when they miss school. At Bloxwich Academy, we want the amount of missed education to be reduced as much as possible. We believe that our community is stronger together, with all of our pupils in school, on time, every day. We are building life skills, life-long friendships and preparing your child for future success.

Please email attendance@bloxwichacademy.co.uk if there is anything we can do to support you or your child.

Today Bloxwich Academy pupils raised money for Macmillan by holding a cake stall at break time. They provide services for people living with cancer at every stage of their cancer experience. Macmillan is 98% funded by voluntary donations, so fundraising is essential to make sure they can deliver the vital support people living with cancer need. The pupils wanted to support this charity and follow our Bloxwich values in this Academy

Congratulations to Toby, Ruby, Evie, Jessica and Kali for their ‘Young Writer’ award commended in the Young Writer’s national competition, their work is to be published in a creative writing book.  Creative writing extracurricular club has supported pupils to craft and structure their own plots with flare, around the theme of unsolved mystery. Huge well done to all!

Pupils have been showing their creative flare this week! As you can see, we have some super-talented pupils we want to celebrate.

Bloxwich Academy opened its doors to welcome many new potential parents and pupils yesterday evening, the buzz and enthusiasm around school was truly visible. Our current pupils were excited to share the breadth of opportunities Bloxwich has to offer and how they aim to ‘be the best they can be’.

The Officer Commanding (OC), Flight Lieutenant Hall of Bloxwich Academy Combined Cadet Force (BA CCF) has been in contact with the Royal British legion Bloxwich Branch (RBLBB) and is delighted to announce that the school and the RBLBB have been affiliated. 

This means that BA CCF and the wider school population can now be even more closely involved with the annual Poppy Collection and the Annual Service of Remembrance as the OC is the parade Marshall and committee member of RBLBB. This further strengthens the relationship from when BA CCF cadets have attended previously the parade. This affiliation will assist the school and the cadets in engaging in local community events, charity fundraising as well as supporting serving military personnel, military veterans and their families.  

With the presence of the RBLBB in the school this will allow cadets, staff and students to be a member of the RBLBB and will give cadets and pupils access to charitable funds to help support activities like the Duke of Edinburgh scheme, Combined Cadet Force and possibly trips to enrich their learning journey and their wider life enrichment. 

It is intended that a youth section of the Royal British Legion be set up, with the pupils having their own committee and running their own events.
