Bosworth Academy: Times Like These

7th May 2020Miss K Henshaw

This week one of our staff, Steve Hall (Lead Practitioner and PE teacher), has coordinated a fantastic, heart-warming message for all students to show how much we miss you all. Steve sings and plays his very own acoustic version of the ‘Live Lounge All Stars’ recent hit and truly gives the great Dave Grohl, of Foo Fighters, a run for his money! See how many of the seventy Bosworth staff (and pets) you recognise!

Thank you to our talented IT Technician, Kat Henshaw for pulling this together.

And remember, ‘the greater the storm, the brighter the rainbow!’.

Stay safe and stay in touch.

Simon Brown, Head of School

Year 9 VE Day poem

7th May 2020Miss A Masih

Two of our Year 9 students have been working on writing poetry during lock down. Here is their poem for VE Day:

VE Day 75 | Remembrance Events | Royal British Legion

VE DAY – Old War Memories

The signal goes out hearts beat loud
The army is off, leaving behind a crowd
Whistles and mud, the sky is grey
This definitely is no happy day.
Bangs surround us from every direction
The pressure is on, everyone can feel the tension
Screaming and yells for mercy sound
For at the end only the victor will be crowned
The ground is black, covered in ash and soot
Underneath the rubble, a hand and boot
My hands are bloody, I’m a killer in the flesh
There is no way out, no time to refresh
Once so innocent, now a violent beast
Thirsty for the enemy to back down and cease
What was once a place for laughter and smiles
Now a graveyard of soldiers, bodies lie for miles
Four years in and the rush comes to a stop
With adrenaline gone, wounds start to throb
Years of fighting, just to survive
I’m just relieved I came out of the other end alive
Now I am off home to my family and friends
I just hope that we can tie old ends
I left a soldier, I come back a killer
Yet they still see me as a strong and supportive pillar

People are cheering, showering us in praise
We have almost certainly seen better days
For Four Years I’ve been violent and shown no mercy
My Old War Memories have me in utter controversy

By Imogen Carter & Amy Chater (Year 9)

Happy birthday William Shakespeare!

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;

Easter Break Message 2020

3rd April 2020Miss K Henshaw

Dear Students and Parents/Carers,

This has been quite an incredible term. It certainly does not feel like the last day of term and this Easter break will feel very different as you look to spend time safely with your family, socially distanced.
On behalf of Bosworth Academy we’d like to thank you all for your hard work, collaboration and support during these challenging times.

We thought we’d share a hopefully uplifting video that our staff had put together before the times of social distancing.
Stay safe.

Mr. Brown & Mr. White
