Bosworth Academy students and staff are celebrating another brilliant set of GCSE results. Outcomes have been incredibly high in a range of GCSE subjects and are particularly strong in the reformed GCSEs English Language, English Literature and Maths (graded 9 to 1).

Students have made excellent progress in their time with us since joining Bosworth Academy. Despite only being at the Academy for two years students have made dramatic progress in this short period of time. The new content of the reformed GCSEs is more demanding and controlled assessments have been removed, yet our students have continued to achieve the highest grades (many 9’s) and show immense improvements in their learning. We are now looking forward to many of our students joining us in our Sixth Form.

Bosworth Academy is a highly inclusive school and take students from a range of educational backgrounds. The staff focus on ensuring that learning is relevant, engaging and creative so that students are engaged in what they do and aspire to ‘be better than they thought they could be’.

Simon Brown, Head of School said, “We are thrilled at the achievement of our students this year. They have worked incredibly hard since joining us for the the start of their GCSEs and achieved well beyond what they even thought was possible – showing a real growth mindset. Staff and students have worked creatively and collaboratively to overcome the challenges faced by new GCSEs and this has resulted in brilliant outcomes.”

The new grading structure is not directly comparable to the A*-G system so comparisons to previous years cannot be made at this early stage. Further information will follow on our website at a later date.
