Each week, during our Friday Achievement assembly, we celebrate our ‘Pupils of the Week’ from each year group. Pupils are recognised for this weekly award for a variety of reasons and are nominated by their class teacher. They may have excelled in a particular subject through the week; may have shown one, or more, of the school values in abundance, or they may have impressed their teacher, or other staff members with a huge amount of effort. Whatever they are nominated for, they are recognised in the whole school achievement assembly, receive a certificate to take home and get to wear one of our prestigious black and gold t-shirts. 
During the assembly, we also celebrate children who have 100% attendance for the week and have been in school every day on time. A lucky dip, of all children who are eligible takes place, and one pupil walks away with £5 to spend on whatever they want, Standards and presentation of a child’s book, chosen at random, are also reviewed and celebrated with the school and the child, whose book has been chosen, has the chance to win a dip out of the basket of goodies, as long as they have used their best handwriting every day, completed their feed forward marking and taken care in the presentation of their date and learning objective. We are extremely proud of all of the efforts of our pupils and the Friday Achievement assembly recognises this pride.

In a thrilling display of young talent, Smiths Wood Primary Academy has clinched the Birmingham City Football Club Cup, securing their spot in the finals at St Andrew’s, the historic home ground of Birmingham City FC. The team’s remarkable journey has been steered by Head Coach and Director of Sporting Opportunities, Mr King.

Smith’s Wood Primary Academy’s path to the final has been nothing short of spectacular, maintaining a perfect record throughout the tournament. Their recent victory on a rain-soaked pitch at Bishop Wilson showcased their resilience and determination, as they delivered a heroic team performance under challenging conditions. 

The upcoming final at St Andrew’s, located in the Bordesley district of Birmingham, is a significant milestone for these young athletes. Established in 1905, St Andrew’s has been the backdrop for numerous historic football events, including hosting the first leg of the 1960 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final.  The opportunity to play at such a renowned venue is a testament to the team’s hard work and dedication.

As anticipation builds for the final match, the Smiths Wood Primary Academy community eagerly awaits the chance to support their team in what promises to be an unforgettable experience for these young footballers.
