Bloxwich Academy had the exciting opportunity to welcome Performance in Education to perform and present “Tough on Tobacco.”

Year 8 and 9 were given clear messages on the dangers of smoking and vaping and the peer pressure surrounding their choices. Pupils were educated on the chemical dangers and the impact this can have on individuals into adulthood. This is working alongside the year 9 curriculum in science of healthy choices and PSHE lessons about lifestyle choices, the factors and how it can impact not just our physical health, but also our mental health.

Performance in Education commended our pupils on their engagement and questions they asked following the performance.

Thank you to Walsall Council and Performance in Education for the opportunity to provide this level of education to our pupils.

Well done to Year 8 and 9 for their engagement with the topic and showing an awareness of the importance of looking after our personal health.
