On Thursday Bloxwich Academy Primary celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE day by wearing red, white and blue. The children were welcomed into school with WWII music and then took part in an assembly where they shared videos, learning, letters from veterans and songs from the decade.

School Uniform: Pupils are welcome to wear their summer uniform…
