From the Bosworth Academy
When it comes to providing results for young people in our community, Bosworth Academy consistently outperforms the competition.
The impact of Bosworth Academy on social mobility is unstoppable. Be better than you imagined you could be means that we recognise that it is our responsibility to assist pupils realise their full potential.
Our mission is to ensure that "no pupil underachieves."
Our goal for students at Bosworth is to produce great citizens with a strong sense of identity and values, not merely outstanding academic accomplishment.
The promotion of values in schools has always been crucial, and Bosworth Academy has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to fostering chances for pupils to grow in their beliefs.
The core principles we aim to instil in each and every one of our pupils are summed up in our achievers ethos.
Through lessons, tutoring time, assemblies, extracurricular activities, guests to the school, and out-of-school visits, students at the Academy enjoy a wide range of chances to explore and develop these principles.
In addition to their other duties, schools are now expected to promote the "Fundamental British Values," which are democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, respect for one another, and tolerance of people of different religions and views, according to Ofsted.
Democracy The opinions of the students are important when it comes to Bosworth Academy life.
For instance, a class decision about how to develop a particular ability in a subject is utilised to guide the teacher's planning.
Additionally, during the year, interviews and questionnaires with students are undertaken.
The law is supreme Throughout their entire lives, our students will come into contact with rules and laws.
Whether these laws apply to the class, the school, the neighbourhood, or the country, we want our students to understand that they were established for good reasons and must be followed.
Through assemblies and our curriculum, we will continuously reinforce this knowledge of the value of following the rules.
Our students' participation in the development of school regulations aids in their comprehension of the rationale behind the regulations as well as the repercussions if they are broken.
To help kids understand how important laws are for their own security, we give them the chance to debate and discuss them.
For our students, we think that concise explanations and examples from real life help to emphasise the value of the rule of law.
Personal Liberty We spend a lot of time fostering a positive culture at our school so that kids may learn in a secure setting where having choices and exercising freedoms are valued.
We have a variety of clubs, and students are able to select one based on their interests.
At the Bosworth Academy, we think that encouraging choice and freedom in the classroom will help the students cherish individual liberty when they enter adulthood.
We spend a lot of time fostering a positive culture at our school so that kids may learn in a secure setting where having choices and exercising freedoms are valued.
Learning tasks in lessons are frequently left up to the child's discretion.
Mutual Regard Our school culture is centred on respect for one another.
Students are taught to show the utmost respect to the faculty and staff.
Tolerance for people of all faiths and beliefs The Academy offers a culturally rich and diversified curriculum that respects and studies all major religions.
At the Academy, we are adamant that understanding and knowledge lead to greater tolerance.
Through our curriculum and the routines of our daily school life, we strive to demonstrate tolerance and help children to become knowledgeable and understanding citizens who can build a better Britain for the future.
A comprehensive Assembly programme provides opportunities for students to reflect on a key question each week.
Opportunities within the Assembly to think and reflect on 'big questions' such as 'How can you make a difference?' and 'How can we be a lights?'.
Discussion of the key question from the Assembly during form time.
Assemblies focusing on key religious festivals such as Diwali, Christmas, Easter and Eid members of faith communities within the school have been involved in delivering these assemblies either through videos or face to face interviews as part of the assemblies.
A group of Year 12 students will be attending a Conference to look at how we can live together more harmoniously which will include feedback to the secretary of State for Education.
A group of Year 12/13 students visited Auschwitz in January and then a small group led Assemblies for Holocaust memorial week.

Assemblies provide students with opportunities to reflect on key moral issues such as: 'How can we help others?'
The Year group PSHE programme provides students with the opportunity to reflect on a wide variety of moral issues such as relationships, how to deal with domestic violence etc.
All tutor groups have taken part in the 'Adopt a Charity scheme over the year they have learnt about the charity and run their own fundraising activities.
We have a close link with Open Hands (A local charity in Leicester City who support needy and vulnerable people) this link means we do the regular Christmas collection, the Open Hands Tour of Leicestershire (a 76 Mile cycle ride to raise money) begins and finishes at Bosworth and a large team of staff and students entered last year and it will take place again on 10th September.
Open Hands Student Ambassadors are crucial in promoting this work.
