Friday was UNBELIEVABLE 💥

Three years ago, we started with just one cohort of six students. Fast forward to now… and we’ve opened the doors to our very own HQ! 🥹🧡

Our new home in the historic Wolverhampton Chubb Buildings is a space we’re incredibly proud of, and we can’t wait to see everything that happens here.

From training and creating to connecting and growing, this space marks such an exciting new chapter for us. ♟️

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us on Friday to celebrate, and to everyone who has supported, championed and believed in us along the way.

We’re more grateful than you could ever imagine. 🧡

Here’s to the next chapter!

What if you looked at your hometown from a completely different perspective? 👀

Sometimes, the most interesting shots are hiding in the places we see every day. You just need to look at them differently. 📸

That’s exactly what we encourage at BlackRook Academy.

From discussion and design to strategy and content creation, our students are challenged to think creatively, experiment with new ideas and see things from a different angle.

♟️ Change your perspective. Make your next move with BlackRook Academy.

Shoutout to our trainer for the video! ⚡️

We had a fantastic day yesterday at the 2026 Innovation Awards! 🏆

Our Managing Director Lucy was there as a finalist, while Penny and Sakib were on the floor capturing photos and videos of all the amazing nominees.

It was inspiring to connect with so many local founders and hear about the incredible work happening across the West Midlands. Events like this remind us just how much talent and passion we have in our region.

Best of luck to all the finalists as the judging continues! To everyone we met - let’s definitely stay in touch. Drop a comment below if you were there! 👇

Would you believe us if we told you this video was made in a classroom? 🤯

Our incredible alumni Anthony showed us what's possible with a smartphone, a torch and some top tier editing skills.

We don’t just teach you how to move around the board, we teach you how to be the winning piece (sorry not sorry we love a chess pun!) ♟️
