What the school offers its staff
Thank you for showing an interest in the Teacher of French post at Bosworth Academy.
At Bosworth Academy, our aim is to ensure all students continue their journey into adulthood as confident, capable and successful people who can take control of, and enjoy, their future lives.
‘Be better than you thought you could be‘
We encourage and work with students so they can concentrate on learning in a co-operative environment, valuing the positive contribution that our colleagues and students make by promoting a strong sense of community and responsibility towards others. Every student is important to us. We have high expectations of our students and believe that they deserve nothing less than a first class education, through expert teaching and outstanding curriculum experiences. It is our role as teaching professionals to foster within all students a deep passion for learning. We aim to instil in our students the notion of a growth mind-set; the belief that they can get better at anything through hard work, high challenge, determination and practice.
We work hard to provide the best teaching, clear guidance, and effective support, recognising the individual learning needs of each student, and personalising their experience accordingly. Our driving passion is a belief that ‘no student at Bosworth Academy will underachieve’. It is our responsibility to raise students’ aspirations and continually drive home the message that you can ‘be better than you thought you could be’.
We offer an exciting, ambitious and seamless pathway through Key Stage 3 and 4, into our Sixth Form, and onwards to university, apprenticeships and beyond. We are excited by the prospect of being one of only a select few institutions able to offer this in Leicestershire.
We believe that through collaboration and investment in high quality coaching, all staff can develop their professional capital and agency, allowing them to have a positive impact on the culture within the school, our students and on the community in which the school serves. Investors in People recognised this – rating us as a ‘Gold’ provider. This post offers an exciting opportunity to help us on our journey towards excellence in every area.
We want the best possible future for all of our students, so we know it is important to invest in them now. Crucially, we believe that all students have enormous potential, therefore we challenge them to be the best, help realise this potential and transform this into lasting future opportunities for them.
