On Tuesday 17th December 2019 pupils are invited to have a traditional Christmas dinner during lunchtime.

The options available are as below.

In a blink of an eye our Year 11s are a term through their final year of GCSEs.  In readiness for their English Literature GCSE, and preparation for their Mock examinations all Year 11 attended an adaptation of A Christmas Carol.  The performance was held at Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham on Tuesday 26^th November.  The show presented an excellent portrayal of Charles Dickens’ classic Victorian novel that explores the importance of family and being charitable to those in need.

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.

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

You can read a letter regarding the day below.

Bloxwich Academy came together to pay their respects for Armistice Day. We’re extremely proud of everyone who took part and joined us at our remembrance service. Thank you, everyone involved. We really enjoyed the parade conducted by our pupils in the Combined Cadet Force. A very proud moment watching our Combined Cadet Force in full flow.

Year 7 & 8 Maths Support for Parents

The workshop will take place on Thursday 17th October at 4.30 pm until 5.30 pm at the secondary site. If you are interested and would like to book a place please give us a call on 01922 710 257.

Twenty cadets from Bloxwich Academy Combined Cadet Force participated in their fly experience days at RAF Cosford in September.

The day consisted of learning basic parachute drills and how to escape the plane in the event of an emergency. This was further complemented with a 30-minute flight in a Grob G 115 tutor aircraft where the cadets were allowed to take control and fly the aircraft. Some of the cadets took the opportunity to perform some aerial stunts and manoeuvres to enhance the day’s experience.

Even though there were a couple of sick bags and grey faces I think everyone who flew had a great time.
