THE ADDAMS FAMILY will hit the Bulwell Academy School’s stage in February 2025.
The 11th-13th of February 2025 will see the comical feast that is The Addams Family – School Edition hit the stage of the Bulwell Academy for their second ever school musical. The show embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family–a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before–keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia.
Join us to see the fateful evening where everything will change for the whole family as they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.
Tickets now on sale, priced at £4 per child and £6 per child, for both stage and tiered seating.
Throughout the year, The Bulwell Academy holds their Parent Forum – an opportunity to meet with Senior Leaders to hear about areas of the Academy Improvement Plan, followed by a chance for parents to ask questions.
The next Parent Forum takes place on Wednesday 12 February with a choice of two times to attend: 9am to 10am or 5pm to 6pm. There are a further two Parent Forums planned for this year on 14 May and 3 July.
If you would like to attend any of our Parent Forums so that you can be more involved in your child’s school, please complete the online form below.
The Bulwell Academy is required to publicly consult on the school’s admission arrangements at least once every 7 years. Should you wish to participate in the consultation of the 2026-2027 admission arrangements, please forward any comments by email to enquiries@bulwellacademy.org.uk with the subject heading of Admissions Consultation.
“It is important for parents to be able to hold us to account, and for us to keep communicating with parents. We are looking forward to the next Open Mornings and hope that more parents will take us up on the chance to see Bulwell in action!”
Mr Keen, Executive Principal
Are you interested in attending an Open Morning to see ‘Bulwell in Action’?
If you are excited to see the school in action with students in lessons, we would like to invite you to sign up for one of our Academy Open Mornings. This will include a tour of the school and the opportunity to meet with Senior Leaders and Student Ambassadors. The Open Mornings are open to parents/carers of students in Years 6 to 11.
We can’t wait to welcome the Bulwell community into the Academy for our annual Christmas Fair on Thursday 19 December! Staff, students and community members are busy getting their festive products, fun games, chocolate tombola and our bumper Christmas Raffle ready for you! There will also be some fantastic festive performances from the school choir plus Karaoke!. So pull on your Christmas jumpers, get in the festive spirit and pop in to see us on Thursday 19 December between 3.30 & 5.30pm.
Donations for the Fair
All proceeds from the Fair will go to Bestwood & Bulwell Foodbank. To help raise funds, staff are organising a variety of stalls, alongside our community stalls. To support us with raising as much money as possible, please can you have a hunt at home to see if you have any quality unwanted items that you could donate to school.
If you are able to donate anything, please pop your items into our donation boxes in Reception. Thank you.
