Student Leadership
We are extremely proud of the leadership teams we have in place at Blue Coat Academy and the willingness of our students to put themselves forward to work on community projects and support the work and development of the school. The Blue Coat Family enables students to have a say through student voice and opportunities to develop their values and life skills by working with others.

Events
Junior Bazaar
Three students supported Blue Coat Juniors at the Christmas Bazaar event, willingly giving their time on a Friday Evening. Their contribution was much appreciated by the school and the headteacher gave the following comment: “They demonstrated a really positive, helpful and proactive attitude. Their presence really helped with the smooth running of the event and it was great to see mature and committed Academy pupils in action!”
Old Age Pensioners Party
Every year, Blue Coat’s Sixth Form hosts a special Christmas party for Senior Citizens living in the community. Led by the Leadership Team, the annual event is held as a way of saying thank you for all those lovely elderly men and women who in one way or another have contributed to the community.
The Sixth Formers organise an evening of games, prize giving, carol singing and charming company with riveting conversation. Our school caterers, Miquill, prepare a superb Christmas dinner for our honoured guests.
On 15th December 2025, BCA had the pleasure of welcoming some of the local community to school for the annual OAP Christmas Party. This is an evening where the whole Academy gets involved- whether it be with donations, decorating the hall, wrapping gifts, greeting guests or being present for the event itself. There were games, performances, tasty food and even a life-sized Gingerbread Man making an appearance! The night was a lovely way to bring people together and start the festive period.
