Post 16 Open Evening 2024

31st October 2024Adam Hodges

On Wednesday 30th October 2024 we welcomed prospective Year 12 students and their parents/carers from across Leicestershire to gain an insight into our Sixth Form at this year’s Post 16 open evening.

Our visitors were able to speak with existing Bosworth Academy Post 16 students along with teachers in departments across the Academy. In Biology visitors were able to see dissections of vital organs whilst a demonstration involving a Nerf gun in Physics illustrated how to split an atom. 

Throughout the evening presentations were given by Headteacher Mr Brown and Head of Sixth Form Mrs Holdback on how Bosworth Academy’s Sixth Form will prepare students to succeed in the wider world with the development of global competencies along with academic success.

We thank all those who attended and we look forward to seeing you in the future.

Our students continue to outperform with A Level exam results being consistently above national and regional averages with A*-E grades at 99.2% and 32% of Year 13 students achieving A*/A (2022/2023) however we believe that developing character and values is as important as exam results.

Loving the Compass

12th April 2018Miss K Henshaw

The Compass is one of Bosworth Academy’s many excellent resources. Here, pupils from all years can access information, work with their peers and seek advice from Mrs Griffiths, our Librarian, It is also a place where pupils both discover and develop their love of reading. In this lovely environment they can quite literally curl up with a good book. This Year 8 class visits The Compass on a regular basis, it has become an important part of our Literacy work and is an eagerly anticipated part of their studies.

Women’s World Day of Prayer 2018

12th March 2018Miss K Henshaw

On Wednesday 7th March a group of Year 8 students took part in a Women’s World Day of Prayer services at St Martins Church, Desford. The service was written by ladies in Suriname and focused on reflecting on what humans are doing to God’s beautiful world.

It was a pleasure to be invited by the Church, and the student thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to dress up in costumes reflective of cultures around the would and retell the stories of these women with elements of dramatic expression.

The student brought a level of vibrancy to the service, and articulated the experiences of women internationally with a high level of maturity.

Year 11 Mock Interviews

8th February 2018Miss K Henshaw

On Wednesday 7th February, Bosworth Academy organised a Mock Interview Day for our Year 11 cohort. 12 representatives from a variety of local and national businesses came to the Academy and conducted job interviews with our students. As holders of the Careers Mark Award, we take preparing our young people for the world of work extremely seriously and this event was part of our overall careers education provision. The day was a big success, our students conducted themselves impeccably and the feedback we got from employers was overwhelmingly positive.

Some of the things they said about our young people were:
  • ‘Very enthusiastic about chosen career path’
  • ‘Obvious team player’
  • ‘Came across as very confident’
  • ‘Good listening skills’
  • ‘Came across as a lovely, bright and interesting person’
  • ‘The passion on what he wants to do shone through’
  • ‘Smiled throughout the interview, a very people friendly and  sociable person’

Our young people will soon get their individual feedback via their tutors.

Bosworth remembers the Holocaust

6th February 2018Miss K Henshaw

Holocaust Memorial Day is a time when we remember when six million Jews were murdered by the Nazi regime. We also remember the millions of other lives taken in other acts of genocide. The theme this year was, ‘The power of words’, exploring how words can make a difference – both for good and evil. Specialist assemblies were delivered to all year groups, and this was followed up in Religious Studies lessons with Year 8.

Students in Year 8 explored the story of Renie Inow, a survivor of the Holocaust. They discussed how she escaped, felt about the loss of her family, and how she is now reaching future generations. The students all wrote a personal message to Renie on postcards. The atmosphere in the lessons was emotional, as nearly all the students wrote touching messages, thereby using their words for good. The postcards have been sent to Renie and we are hopeful of a response.

Open Hands Appeal 2017

19th December 2017Miss K Henshaw

Our fifth annual Open Hands Christmas Charity appeal took place this month, where all tutor groups in the Academy were given the opportunity to collect as many food and toiletries hampers for the city’s most vulnerable people.

Despite this being our fifth appeal, it was the first time we have launched it in collaboration with our colleagues at The Winstanley School. To gain a greater insight in to how the Charity operates, five year 10 students from Bosworth and five year 7 students from The Winstanley School went to the Open Hands Compassion Centre to find out more. They then delivered an assembly to their respective student bodies and informed them of what items students could bring in to support the cause. Compassion for those less fortunate and a desire to improve the world around us are core to our values across the LiFE Multi-Academy Trust, and the teamship and comradery demonstrated throughout the collection was awe-inspiring. At Bosworth we managed to raise a total of 1,425 items which is a fantastic effort and clearly shows, once again, that compassion for those less fortunate is something we are passionate about. A massive thank you to all who contributed. The people at Open Hands are incredibly grateful and those items will go a long way in ensuring that more people have a Merry Christmas this festive season.
