Sandwell Academy

A fantastic start to the week with our standing assemblies for Year 7, 9 and 12!
It’s been great to see such a positive response and strong engagement from students.
We’re looking forward to welcoming Year 8 and 10 next week to continue building on this momentum!

This year’s Mercers’ Schools’ Year 12 Conference, held at the University of Reading focused its attention on AI in education.

The keynote speaker, Dr Reyk shared thought provoking points on the impact of AI on education, on young people and on life as we know it.

Sandwell Academy’s Media, Psychology and Law students were exceptional representations of the critical thinkers of tomorrow in this digital age.

Come one, come all to the incredible Sandwell Academy Summer Concert!

Hosted by our very own Performing Arts Department, featuring performances by our incredibly talented students.

It’s a show you won’t want to miss!

As the school year ends, please donate any clean, pre-loved uniform items you no longer need.

Your donations help support families in our school community and promote sustainability.

Thank you for your support!

Another day at Sandwell Academy, a day to celebrate greatness.

🏆 A few changes this week, but it seems neck and neck between the usual suspects. Will a surprise competitor take it all? 👀
