At Bosworth our main aim is to ensure all students continue to develop into confident, capable and successful people who can take control of their future lives. We encourage and work with students so they can concentrate on their learning in an environment where they can work co-operatively. We value everyone’s positive contribution and we have high expectations of all students. We work hard to provide the best teaching, to give clear guidance and to offer effective support. We believe everyone has the potential to learn and develop. While we value the individual, we encourage a strong sense of community and responsibility for others.

Rainbows
Welcome to Rainbows Club.
We are open on a Wednesday from 10am-12pm at St Martin's Church Centre. It is very unstructured play, but we do try and have an activity on the art table every week and we like to end our sessions with 15-20 minutes singing.
There are three leaders, Katy and Charlotte, who are both working as nannies and bring their charges along to play, and also Sally.
It is £1.00 per family for Rainbows. For that you get a hot drink and the children get a drink of juice and a biscuit.
We try and have a different activity on our art table each week, according to what time of year it is. At Christmas time we were very busy each week making cards, crackers and presents for Mums, Dads and Carers.
We try and rotate the toys around a little. So hopefully, we offer a wide range of enjoyment. Please feel free to approach any one of us if you need assistance with anything.
Every year Mother and Toddler group have a fantastic summer outing.
We look forward to meeting you soon!!
Tiny Tots
We meet in the Church on Thursdays at 2pm for half an hour. It is suitable for adults with pre-school children. We sing songs (usually to nursery rhymes, simple tunes or tunes the children will know, often with loud percussion!!). We have an activity or story based on a very simple Christian theme and we finish with a drink and a biscuit. Tiny Tots is a good way for children and adults to meet and talk. There is no charge but a voluntary collection is taken. Enquiries via the Rector or just turn up. You will be made very welcome and will soon join in!
