ABOUT THE SCHOOL
Established in 1977 as a small tutorial college, today Bosworth is a leading independent school in the UK catering for boarding and day students from Year 7 upwards. Bosworth is a relatively small school of approximately 200 students, the majority of whom are boarders from overseas, though the school has a small cohort of day students who benefit from being at a school that is proudly international in character. We pride ourselves on the individualised support we give to our students across all Key Stages. Staff know students well, care deeply, and are committed to doing their utmost to ensure every student thrives and attains their very best.
Our high-quality teaching, excellent academic results, established university links, and caring and supportive environment are just some of the stand-out features of the school, as well as our diverse student body and central location in Northampton, at the crossroads of the United Kingdom. We pride ourselves on being a non-selective school with a proven track- record of getting students great outcomes and putting them on a trajectory to success.
