BOA Creative, Digital and Performing Arts Academy is highlighting the success of its #WeWill Social Action Campaign - a student-led initiative making a significant difference to arts access for young people across Birmingham.

With sponsorship and support from Ormiston Trust, the We Will project empowers BOA students to become ambassadors for the arts and active citizens within their community. Led by Youth Social Action Lead Mary Savva, students design and deliver high-quality arts workshops for local primary schools, offering creative opportunities to children who may otherwise face barriers to arts education.

The project has now partnered with 25 primary schools, reaching 5,462 children through free workshops, performance experiences, and creative activities. Its impact has been recognised nationally, with BOA receiving a series of prestigious awards, including:
• Inclusion & Diversity – Best Youth Social Action Project
• Community Impact – Best Youth Social Action Project
• Exceptional Student Personal Development Award
• Educators Trust Inspirational Educator Awards 2025 – Highly Commended: Mary Savva

In addition to its outreach work, BOA Creative, Digital and Performing Arts Academy also offers the BOA Super Saturday School, an enriching 8-week programme for young people aged 11 – 16.

Delivered across dance, drama, singing and DJ skills, the programme is designed to nurture creativity, build confidence, and give children valuable early learning experiences in the arts. BOA is passionate about inspiring the next generation of young artists from the very beginning of their creative journey.

To ensure accessibility, free places with priority registration are available for families receiving Free
School Meals (FSM), Pupil Premium or Universal Credit - reaffirming BOA’s commitment to supporting
every child to benefit from this opportunity.
