## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — I HATE: Horrible i am year 10 staff are all rude as hell and dont care about your wellbeing. They promote ‘being yourself’ and ‘individuality’ until you want to dye your hair and change your piercings. Then you get punished for your individuality. *(Sep 2025)*
- **1/5** — AVOID AT ALL COSTS: Unless you are SEN with a diagnosis you won’t get the help you need from this school. My child was put in the area where the children who were disprutive and in isolation for the day were and left on their own all day instead of giving the correct help they needed at school when they couldn’t cope in the class environment. My child struggled for many years and was just fobbed off. Head of senco was very reluctant to help and when concerns were raised most the time they didn’t seem to know what t… *(Jun 2025)*
- **1/5** — Do not reccomend: Senior members of staff honestly do not care about students wellbeing as long as the outcome of grades is to their standard that makes them look better. *(Dec 2024)*
- **5/5** — Great transition from primary: My son has settled in well to Bosworth Academy and is enjoying the variety of activities on offer. The facilities are impressive and the teachers seem really engaged with the students. *(Aug 2023)*
- **2/5** — Hight staff turn over and poor SEN knowledge: This school fails to recognise pupils as individuals and support is not given to those with extra needs. The staff turn over rate is the highest I have seen at any school and santions on pupil are not consistent. Some are too low and others for the same discretion excessive. It seems of you are reactive and try to work with the school to support the pupils learning they only negatively target the pupil further. The communication between staff is disgraceful although not surprising given the turn… *(Jun 2023)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic school with caring staff: I've been truly impressed with the support my daughter has received at Bosworth Academy. The facilities are excellent and the staff are always willing to help. The focus on student welfare and well-being is outstanding. *(Feb 2023)*
- **3/5** — Mixed experience: While my daughter has had some great experiences at Bosworth Academy, I've also had some concerns about the level of support for students in need. Overall, I think the school has some great strengths but could improve in a few areas. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Excellent education and values: I have fond memories of my time at Bosworth Academy, both as a student and as a parent. The school's commitment to academic excellence and its values-based approach to education really make it stand out. *(Apr 2022)*
- **4/5** — Bosworth Review: Excellent members off staff very welcoming school. Need to work on problems slightly quicker though. *(Apr 2022)*
- **1/5** — Bosworth Academy Review: Senco is absolutely awful, bullying is ridiculous. Have been going here for 3 years and hated every minute of it, tons of homework and small deadlines. *(Jan 2022)*
