On the evening of September 12th, students, parents and staff gathered at Bosworth Academy, to celebrate outstanding performances in the summer examinations. On arrival students and parents alike were unaware of the subject in which they were to be awarded adding to the excitement and intrigue of the evening. Awards on the evening rewarded the very top performers of each subject at both GCSE and A Level. Each of the awards were presented by the Heads of Faculty from each of the subject areas, supporting the announcements with beautifully written pen portraits.

The evening was supported by three outstanding vocal performances from Bosworth students and staff. In addition to this, Assistant Head, Louise Holdback, invited ex-student Harsh Patel to tell us about his experiences at Bosworth Academy and then the first year of his Medicine Degree. Harsh, was truly inspirational and made some outstanding observations about his time at the Academy: this part of the evening was really well received by students and parents. At the end of the evening students and parents were able to make use of our popular, professional and exciting photo wall to get some photographs of students and their awards.
