WELCOME FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Families

It is with great pleasure that we write to welcome you to West Bromwich Collegiate Academy.  

To our Parents and Carers, we would welcome you by saying that creating great students is a partnership: between the Academy, the student, and their families.  Our Academy is not just a place where students come to learn, but a real community, supporting each other and helping each other along the journey. 

Since opening in 2019 we have had a huge amount of support from our community and supportive parents of eager students, who are excited and proud of their new school.  

We want to see an Academy filled with positivity as we strive to have students eager to come to school every day because they are having an amazing experience.  

There will be challenges along the way, good days and bad, but working together we can make a fantastic Academy which is the equal of any other school in the country.  

To our students, we would say that over the next five years, my hope for each one of you is that your time is happy and filled with exciting opportunities. I hope that each and every one of you is successful that you are proud of yourselves, and that your families and teachers are proud of you.  

This Academy may stand for a hundred years, and in that time educate thousands of students, but when you come to us as a new cohort of students, it is working together that we create the history that all future students will look back on.  

We look forward to meeting you all in the months ahead.

Kind regards

Mr George Faux, Mrs Mary Henderson, Mrs Hannah Percival
