Bosworth Academy
Our History and Evolution
Bosworth Academy has a rich history of serving the community, evolving through several key milestones to become the leading educational institution it is today.
Origins and Academy Status
The school first opened its doors in Desford in 1969 as Bosworth Community College, replacing the former Grammar School previously located in Market Bosworth. Over the decades, the school established a reputation for excellence, earning designation as a Specialist Sports College in 2003.
On April 1st, 2012, the school officially transitioned to Academy status. This followed its long-standing history as a Leicestershire Upper School and Community College. Today, Bosworth Academy is proud to be a member of the LiFE Multi-Academy Trust, a partnership dedicated to providing an exciting and inclusive learning environment.
