House Points

When you start at King Edward VI Balaam Wood Academy you will join one of our Houses. Our House system is an integral part of every academy day. We have three Houses, each with its own House Champions from the staff and Pupil House Captains. Their task is to motivate and enthuse the pupils within their respective House and play a full and active part in the inter-house competitions. Our three houses are: Barber, Malala and Zephaniah.

Community Safety Update

We would like to make parents and carers aware that the school has been informed of an isolated incident involving a man in a van approaching pupils in the local area after school and allegedly making threatening comments.
The safety and wellbeing of our students remains our highest priority. Upon being made aware of the incident, the school acted immediately and notified all relevant agencies, including the Police, who are aware of the matter.
At this stage, this appears to be an isolated incident. However, we are sharing this information to ensure that parents, carers and students remain vigilant and continue to take sensible precautions when travelling to and from school.
We would encourage all students to:
Travel with friends where possible.
Use well-lit and populated routes.
Avoid engaging with unknown individuals.
Report any concerns or suspicious behaviour to a trusted adult immediately.
Contact the Police by calling 999 if they feel at immediate risk.
We will continue to liaise with the relevant agencies and will provide further updates should any additional information become available.
Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep our pupils safe.
