Students take up mathematical challenge

– an exceptional achievement
Currently at Bosworth Independent College 174 of our
192 A Level students choose to study Maths at A Level,
with many of these students also opting for A Level
Further Maths. Last year, our students achieved a
100% pass rate at A
Level in these subjects, with 73% of students gaining
an A grade and a further 18% a B grade.
Therefore, it is fair to say Maths is a core subject at
Bosworth, and because of the number of students we
have studying this subject at A Level we are able to
offer 16 different units out of a possible 18
available.
To incorporate this number of units we actually have 51
different A Level groups with an average of 8 students
in each group. Which obviously means timetabling this
subject in itself proves a mathematical challenge!
However, having 18 maths teachers on hand helps.
The students can choose statistics, mechanics or
decision maths to go alongside the compulsory pure
maths units and with students from 22 different
nationalities opting for maths each Bosworth student
has a very unique learning experience.
Furthermore, this year we entered a number of students
into the Maths Challenge competition
which is set for AS Level students. Of
those who participated; eight students achieved
gold, thirteen
silver and four
bronze medals.
Three of our gold medal winners qualified to enter the
first round of the Maths Olympiad and one of these
students, Minh Trang Nguyen, won a place in round 2 of
the Olympiad from which the National team is chosen.
This is an exceptional achievement and we are eagerly
awaiting her results.

Under 18 Table-Tennis Champ
Bosworth Independent College is very proud to announce that student Cavan Tian Vun Foo, from Malaysia, has just won the Northamptonshire County Table-Tennis (Single) Under 18 Championship 2010. Cavan joined our 18 month A Level programme in January 2010. He joined the local Table-Tennis club three months ago and currently trains with them two evenings a week.For the Singles title, whilst Cavan was seeded number one, in the Final he had to fight off competition from the Two Time Defending Champion, a true challenge. With a 2-0 lead his opponent fought back to 2-2 but he finally clinched it 3 sets to 2 to take the Under 18 Single title.
Cavan also competed in the Under 18 Doubles title, seeded number two for the doubles his partnership managed to beat the number one seeded pair. With his partner Aaron Ark he managed to hold off the competition in 3 sets to 2.
Every week Cavan will also take part in a League match and currently he is ranked 21/500 in this League.
Well done Cavan on your superb achievement within your first 4 months at Bosworth! We wish you continued success with the Northamptonshire County Club.

Duke of Edinburgh Award
This year the College is
running for the first time the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
This is open to all of our students and has three
levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. The participants
choose to develop their skills in three areas: Skills,
Physical Activity and Service. The awsard is a great
way to pick up new experiences, friends and talents
that will stay with them for life. This award is highly
valued by both universities and employers, and can
benefit students when submitting the UCAS applications.
Those on the scheme have been working with ‘Young
Creations’ a voluntary organisation made up of able and
disabled participants. The aim of the organisation is
for young people to express themselves through the
arts. Pictured above in this year’s Panto Performance!
