We are delighted to announce, Bloxwich Academy Primary have been awarded the ‘Gold School Games Mark’ award for the 2021-2022 academic year. 

The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward and recognise school’s engagement (provision and uptake) in the School Games against a national benchmark and to celebrate keeping young people active, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success. 

Some of our successful school sport achievements this year have included: 

The KS2 Girls football team being unbeaten in all games played across the academic year! 

Boys and girls winning football tournaments at Beacon primary school without losing a game! 

An amazing turnout for both boys and girls’ football & rugby clubs increasing participation for all! 

At Bloxwich Academy Primary we are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of physical activity and school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our events possible. As a school, we are committed to using the School Games to try and engage those young people who haven’t previously been active or represented our school and to try and ensure that all our students have a positive experience and want to try out new activities beyond school too in our community. We believe in the power of physical activity and school sport as a school and give opportunities to those young people that need it most either as a participant, leader, official or volunteer. 

As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas linked to the five School Games outcomes and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year. 

Ms Shepherd would like to thank all the staff at Bloxwich Academy Primary for their dedication to teach outstanding PE lessons and taking their own time to offer a wide variety of extra-curricular activities. To all the parents and children for their hard work and efforts achieving this award – we couldn’t have done it without you! Special thanks go to Mr Baugh and Miss Machin for overseeing, organising and leading the PE throughout the year. Well done for all your hard work! 

We look forward to applying once again in 2023!
