Last October, Bosworth Independent College students had the opportunity to speak live to a student and teacher from a school for the blind in Tanzania. The teacher was an ex student of the school and was also blind.

The school was set up approximately 10 years ago and is a salvation for the blind students who are chosen as before they would have been in classes of over 100 children in a normal school, which obviously limited their ability to learn.

The link up was part of the BBC ‘Hunger to Learn’ series and Bosworth Independent College was chosen because of its international student mix.

Five Bosworth students got the opportunity to take part throughout the day and we were on two channels BBC world and BBC news channel. Students were sat in front of a web cam, watching themselves as well as the student and teacher in Tanzania on the screen.

Through the headset the BBC gallery staff instructed the students how long they had before going live to the link up. Once live, the students on average got to ask about 4 questions each.

The Tanzanian student understood some of our questions and we did manage to find out his favourite football team was Everton! The teacher was able to explain to us in more detail what life is like in Tanzania, what the school day consisted of and why he had chosen to go into teaching.

It was a fascinating insight for Bosworth students to take part in the live link up and to get to understand how little some schools have in the way of facilities. It was a humbling experience for all involved and definitely made the students recognise how lucky they are to receive a good education.

Here at Bosworth Independent College we pride ourselves on our unique learning experience which is both intense and flexible. This is delivered in a caring and supportive environment that allows students to really reach their potential – possibly achieving more than they ever dreamed.

We house International students from over 20 different countries along with UK pupils who primarily join us as day students.

Which means anyone who joins the College from the UK enters a rich cultural experience, mixing with students from all over the world. This greatly broadens their view of the world and their understanding of International issues.

We also strongly believe students are challenged by their International counterparts particularly in the subjects of maths and science and it opens their eyes to the competitiveness they will face at University level. Pre University, we encourage students to raise their game at GCSE and A Level, ensuring they work consistently hard towards their final exams.

The College has been established for over 33 years and has grown from a small tutorial college into a learning centre for over 300 students. With highly experienced teaching staff and average class sizes of 8 to a class, students are given the support and attention they require to achieve their full potential.

For GCSE we offer either a one or two year programme with 16 subject options on the current curriculum.

The two year GCSE course is aimed at students who are 14 and just joining the GCSE learning level, these students will take 7-10 subjects.

The one year GCSE course is aimed at International students or slightly older UK students who are looking to progress to A Level’s as quickly as possible and they take 5-7 GCSE’s.

For A Level we also offer a one or two year programme with 22 subject options on the two year programme and 7 subject choices for the one year option on the current curriculum.

The one year A Level is aimed at UK students who have already studied to a higher level and they either need to retake or they want to choose a new subject. Or for International students who have already studied to a higher level and have the ability to complete A Levels in one year.

Our aim for our UK students is to teach them from GCSE to A Level (14-18 years) ensuring they reach their full potential to achieve the University of their choice. Nearly all of our students progress to University, but we pride ourselves that last year 59% of our A Level students left to attend one of the top 25 UK Universities.

Our A Level results are outlined in full in the results section.

We are pleased to now offer our Bosworth site as mini versions in 5 other languages:

日本語 | العربية | portugues | Русский | Deutsch

These mini-sites have been professionally translated and summarise the best bits of Bosworth. We are always working to communicate with students and their parents as much as possible and are hoping to increase this range in the future.

In the meantime, we recommend using Google translate to translate our site into your language. This is a machine translation tool and therefore not as accurate as a human, but it will give you a good foundation to understand more about us in your language.

Feel free to share the Bosworth site with friends and family, who may be in need of translated version, in your native language.
