The First Student Fundraising Event – Thursday 17th December
Wear A Sports Shirt/Sporty Top Day
Students may choose to come to school in a Sports shirt, Sporty top or Sports Club hoody on this day and will be asked to contribute a minimum of £1 towards our goal.
This is not a non-school uniform day and so students would be expected to wear their school uniform with the only exception being they can wear a sporty top rather than their shirt/blouse and tie and jumper or blazer.
Existing rules on shoes, jewellery, and clothing suitable for school must be followed and school lanyards must be worn.
This event has £4£ matching up to the first £1,000 raised. This means that for every £1 that you donate; £2 is raised for the pitch.
How to donate to this event
Payments can be made via your child’s sQuid account.
Thank you

Please queue remembering to socially distance yourself and you must use a mask when arriving at the school.
We therefore request that they are collected as follows;

Many thanks

The Bosworth Academy Open Evening will be taking place on Wednesday 14th October at 6PM on YouTube Live @ youtube.com/BosworthAcademy During the event we would like prospective parents to ask questions about Bosworth Academy and we will attempt to answer them as best as we can. If you have any questions that you would like us to answer, then please fill out the form using the link below:
Please read in conjunction with the iPads for Learning at Bosworth Academy information
Bosworth Academy have been using iPads for over six years with our students allowing digital learning to take place effectively in every lesson and at home. Many schools struggle with providing adequate ICT provision in schools. Seven years ago we decided to do things a little differently with the aim of having 1-2-1 provision to ICT across the curriculum. Every student in KS3 and KS4 now has access to an iPad which they can use both in school and at home. The iPads are loaded with educational software and tools that enhance the learning experience. Furthermore, the devices are controlled by the school ensuring that students are only able to access resources that help them learn, even when at home! Internet traffic is always filtered through our servers to ensure students are kept safe.
We recognise that this scheme is an exciting one for students and we are sure our new September entrants are looking forward to making use of iPads in their lessons. There is an expectation that all students will use iPads whilst at the Academy to enhance their learning experience and to help them become more proficient at using digital technologies.
A breakdown of the scheme is included with this letter and below we will only give information that relates specifically to children joining the scheme this year.
In order to support students with this scheme, we ask that parents provide a voluntary payment to support the e-learning programmes we have in place. The suggested donation is between £5-7 per month which will be collected via direct debit on a monthly basis. At the beginning of the scheme we will also collect a £10 security deposit which we will hold as security to cover the anticipated market value buyout of the iPad and case at the end of the scheme. This payment will be collected via sQuid. At the end of the scheme, should you wish to purchase the iPad, you can use your £10 security deposit as payment. Alternatively, you can hand the iPad back to the school and your deposit will be returned to you.
It is important to note that no student is excluded from the iPad scheme due to financial circumstances. If you support the principle of the voluntary donation scheme but have financial concerns please contact us so we can ensure your son or daughter is not disadvantaged. A significantly reduced voluntary contribution is suggested for those families who are eligible for FSM or FSM6 funding as we are able to use our Pupil Premium funding to support the scheme. Please contact Jane Manning ([email protected]) before completing the online portal if you are eligible for FSM or FSM6.
We are sure having read the details of the scheme you will agree with us that this is a fantastic opportunity for your children. Digital learning is an important part of our work at Bosworth Academy and ensures that students develop 21st Century skills – something which has become overly apparent during the recent COVID 19 closures. Our students have been able to continue working from home without any pause in their learning because they have been able to access a range of digital resources including interactive lesson resources, video conference live lessons and streams. They have also been able to stay in contact with their classroom teachers and classmates.
We are pleased to be working with The Learning Foundation who provide a Parent Support Service. Their support is funded, in part, through Gift Aid contributions. Gift Aid increases the value of donations by 25%, so it means even more money goes to the causes you care about, including the e-learning programme we are offering – and it won’t cost you any extra! Please initially log onto the portal to confirm which option you are taking to facilitate iPad use for your child by the deadline of 9 September 2020.
