Last week, our marvellous year 8 Henrichment team spent the afternoon building our brand new chicken coop and run. The two chicks were incubated at the Academy and hatched out on February 8th, they will soon be ready to move into their new abode. The luxury 40sq ft home is designed to give the birds protection from predators and plenty of space to roam and forage.

In the summer term, the Henrichment team will be hosting a lunchtime club in the garden for year 7 and 8 to get to know the chickens and help with their upkeep.

Any questions you may have please feel free to contact the Henrichment Team at [email protected]

Bosworth Academy Laureates students celebrate – “What Christmas means to me”, at St Martin’s Church Desford.

Over 200 students, tutors and staff enjoyed a Christmas celebration at St Martin’s Church with a combination of favorite carols and readings as well as poems and reflections written by the students on the theme “What Christmas means to me”.

In addition to thoughts of family, friendship and fun, the students also shared thoughts of those around the world that are not able to enjoy the festivities due to poverty, hunger and conflict.

The students posed the question “What does Christmas mean to you?”.

On Monday 16th November 2015 at 11am we held a one minute silence.

This was an opportunity to stop and reflect on the events in Paris on Friday evening, 13th November 2015.

Showing solidarity and holding on to hope.

Bosworth Academy students triumph at GCSE despite tougher than ever exams, with the school securing the best ever ‘value added’ performance ever seen under the current tougher exam system.

Along with some individual outstanding results, students on average achieved one grade higher than their previous best last year, and achieved an astonishing 3 grade improvement in progress compared to 2014.

Chris Parkinson, Principal, said “the progress that each student has made has been phenomenal, we have seen more students than ever get straight A*/A grades, and most importantly virtually every student has risen to the challenge and performed fantastically well against the highest of expectations”

Amongst the numerous starring performances:
Eva Crowson Achieved: 10 A*
Eva will be continuing her studies here at Bosworth Academy, selecting Chemistry, Geography, French and English Literature.

Patrick Taylor Achieved: 7 A* and 2 A
Patrick credits his success to his teachers and their hard work and will be continuing with Chemistry, Biology, History and Maths for his A Levels.

Sharon Chan Achieved: 9 A*, 1 A and an A^ in additional Maths
Sharon will be continuing her studies here at Bosworth Academy, selecting Chemistry, Physics, Maths and English Literature.

Twins Amy and Vincent Smith Achieved: 14 A*, 4 A and 3 B

Bosworth Academy students and staff are celebrating another fantastic set of A Level results.

On one of the most nerve wracking days of their academic career so far; and the culmination of 14 years of study and three years of seemingly endless exams students achieved an overall pass rate of 99.6% with nearly three quarters of entries at the top A* – C grades.

“A-level results day is arguably one of the most pivotal days in a young adults life.” Chris Parkinson, the Academy Principal, said “The progress made by these students has been better than ever, and as a result more Bosworth Academy students will be accessing courses at top UK universities including Cambridge.”

These amazing results reflect one of the Academy’s core values ‘Be better than you thought you could be’. By challenging, encouraging and motivating students the teaching staff are justifiably proud to have supported students to achieve more than they thought they could; and have helped to provide a firm education foundation, and a love for learning which they will carry forward to university, or into their future careers.

The effort made by the students, and the dedication and support given by the staff were recognised at the A Level Results Celebration held at the Academy.

Particular recognition should go to Chantelle Caines who secured a highly sought after place to read Medicine at The University of Cambridge with 3 A* grades at A Level and Frazer Alcock on achieving two A* grades and one A, who is going to The University of Cambridge to read Engineering. We are equally proud of Greg Jones and James Maund who each achieved outstanding results of four A* grades and are going to read Aeronautical Engineering at Imperial College London and Mathematics at The University of Warwick respectively.
