AS a College that focuses on trying to ensure the best result for every individual, and knowing that all students and teachers have worked exceptionally hard in preparation for examinations, A-level results day is always a nervous wait at Bosworth Independent College.
Therefore, the college is delighted to report this year’s results have yet again outperformed the UK national average with 71 per cent achieving A* to B grades and 86 per cent achieving A* to C grades.
Fiona Pocock, Principal at Bosworth said: “It is wonderfully rewarding to learn of the top grades and excellent university outcomes achieved by our students. The national press and public bodies can react to exam results with statistics and point towards trends but for us, the results are about individuals. We’ve worked with them usually over several years and have shared their challenges and witnessed some of the hardships they have endured so as to reach their full potential. Our whole staff share in the success of our students and we are thrilled now to have evidence that effort and dedication pay off.”
Bosworth offers huge congratulations to all students who can now move to the next stage of their careers, they are all success stories, but highlighted below are some of the highest achievers – with three students gaining places at Oxford and Cambridge:

The personal advice and assistance given by the teaching staff has really helped me.”
Toyin Ihinmikalu (Nigerian) A*AAB achieved in Psychology, Government and Politics, Biology and English Literature and she has been accepted to read Law at Lady Margaret Hall College, University of Oxford.

As a result, I was as best prepared for my real interviews as I could have been, which may not have been the case had I been a student elsewhere. Bosworth is the best thing that has happened to me.”
