As a Church of England Academy with profound ideals based upon our Christian foundation, we strive to introduce Christian aspects of teaching into all that we do. During College Form time each day all students participate in a daily act of Worship which includes prayer and time for reflection. There is also a weekly worship in St. Matthew’s Church when the whole Academy gathers to enjoy thought provoking talks and performances.
Together we create a positive and challenging learning environment that encourages high expectations. We are an 11-18 Academy that was described by OFSTED (January 2018) as a good school.

We require staff who are excited by this opportunity and who are ready to embrace this challenge, supporting us in delivering a great local school for our local community.

Values and vision
Walsall Blue Coat Academy bases its ideals upon its Christian foundation and strives to introduce Christian aspects of teaching into all that it does.
For instance, during form time each day all students participate in a daily act of worship which includes prayer and time for reflection. Regular meetings are also held for staff and students, during which prayers are said and thoughts are focused on people in need. Certain students are also instrumental in spreading the word of Christianity through, for example, taking assemblies to junior schools.
Walsall Blue Coat Academy also has dedicated itself to striving to foster a caring attitude towards the wider global community. Indeed, each year the school raises money for a charity voted for by all students. In 2015, students raised over £4,400 for Teenage Cancer Trust.
