GCSE Options Presentation Event 2023

GCSE Options Presentation Event 2023

On Monday 30 January 2023 we will be holding a presentation event that explains the GCSE option process to parents and carers of Year 8 students.

This event is designed to give parents and carers the information they need in order to support their children in choosing their GCSE options.

Our students leave Bosworth Academy confident that they can be future leaders, ready to adapt to an ever-changing world and transition into job sectors that don’t even exist yet!

Our GCSE curriculum allows students to choose from a wide range of subjects that they are interested in, but most importantly provides the necessary skills in order to progress onto further study or training.

Whilst all of our subjects allow students to progress onto further study, some A-Level subjects require the subject to have been studied at GCSE level first. Our presentation event aims to give parents and carers the information they need in order to support their children in choosing their GCSE options.

You can learn more by visiting our Key Stage 4 curriculum page: https://www.bosworthacademy.org.uk/curriculum/key-stage-4/

Additional information about the options process will be sent to you soon through our various school communication mediums.

Format of the evening

We will be holding two identical presentations. One at 5:30 and another at 6:15 and you can book your place here. There will be time after each presentation to ask questions about the process. Our SENDCO will also be on hand to answer questions from parents who wish to discuss their child’s specific learning needs. We will attempt to speak to as many parents as possible on the night however, demand to speak to our SENDCO is also high. You might prefer to complete our online form and detail what you would like to discuss, along with some contact details, and we will get in touch with you as soon as possible.

Post 16 Open Evening 27 October 2022

28th September 2022Adam Hodges

Come and visit us to see what our school, our culture, and our value systems are all about. Our students leave Bosworth Academy confident that they can be future leaders, ready to adapt to an ever-changing world and transition into job sectors that don’t even exist yet!

Prepare for the future by exploring the Post 16 options available at Bosworth Academy by visiting us on 27 October 2022 5:00pm – 7:30pm and see how we inspire our students to be better than they ever thought they could be by helping them believe they can make a difference to the world in which they live in.

We are located in Desford, Leicestershire, conveniently situated between Leicester city centre and the town of Hinckley in the west of the county.

Our students continue to outperform with A Level exam results being consistently above the Leicestershire average with A*-E grades at 99.8% and almost a third of Year 13 students achieving A*/A (2021/2022).

Post 16 students are able to think critically in a dedicated study area and they develop their learning in a full range of facilities including the world-class full sized football 3G pitch, design workshops and IT suites to name just a few.

We believe that developing character and values is as important as exam results and Post 16 students “learn to be good citizens and play an active role in their school, in society and in the world” (Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ Report, June 2022).

We will be showcasing each department with curriculum specialists bringing subjects to life whilst current Post 16 students will give valuable insights with testimonials.

The open evening is available to anyone who is considering their options for Post 16 study including those not currently in Year 11.

During the evening feel free to tour the school. We recommend spending at least one hour at the school to get the most out of your visit.

Our story, our vision and our values will be shared in a presentation that will illustrate student life at Post 16 Bosworth Academy.

BOTH PRESENTATIONS ARE NOW FULLY BOOKED BUT YOU CAN STILL COME AND VISIT US WHERE STAFF AND STUDENTS WILL BE HAPPY TO SHOW YOU ROUND THE ACADEMY.

You can preview the great choices we have on offer by viewing our prospectus here, by exploring the Post 16 section of our website or by viewing our video below.

A summary of the event can be found, in the form of a flyer, here.

We look forward to welcoming you!

 

Bosworth Academy is proud to be part of the LiFE Multi Academy Trust.
