We are delighted to inform you that The Bulwell Academy has achieved the Carers Federation Quality Standard in Carer Support accreditation.

Read the Carers’ Federation Assessment of The Bulwell Academy here.

During the rigorous assessment process, The Bulwell Academy evidenced a clear commitment and a comprehensive approach to supporting our young carers, which filters across our academy.

We are proud to offer a wide range of tailored support to assist our Young Carers both inside and outside of school. This includes extra support with homework, flexibility around calling home, a key person to talk to at school, and a growing network of support from other Young Carers.

We are also pleased to have secured links with local external agencies such as TuVida, who are instrumental in providing care and support to many of our Young Carers. 

To support the identification of Young Carers, we have developed a designated Young Carers page, on our school website, which includes details of what a Young Carer is and who to contact if you feel that your child is a Young Carer.

Please follow the links below for further information about our support for Young Carers or about the support available to Young Carers from TuVida’s Young Carers Notts service.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY hits 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 on sale, priced at £4 per child and £6 per child, for both stage and tiered seating.
