A Level & IB Results
20 August 2010
This year's A level and IB results have yet again been a cause for celebrations. The new A* grade, designed to pick out the highest performers at A level and set a similar standard to the 7 points in the IB, has been achieved by 16% of A level candidates - in line with our IB level 7 candidates this year.
Overall 33% of the A level girls achieved at least one A* grade and Jay Man celebrated her Cambridge place with a clean sweep of 4 A*s. Two other girls achieved 3 A* and 26% of girls achieved either 3 A*/A or 6/7 points in the IB Diploma.
48% grades were A*/A or IB levels 6/7 and 76% of our Upper 6 students achieved the equivalent of A*/B. In the IB four girls were awarded bi-lingual Diplomas and overall 3 girls achieved their Cambridge places this year.
Overall an excellent performance and one which is amongst our best in the last 5 years; I am, as ever, immensely proud of all the girls and their achievements.

GCSE Results
Girls have once again achieved some truly excellent results in their GCSE examinations this summer. 29% of all results were at A* grade, 57% A*-A and 80% A*-B.
Carla Barberio, Rebecca Murray, Hannah Short and Surina Taneja all achieved 10A* grades, Tessa Forbes and Chloe Scott 9A* grades, Connie Fan, Yasmin Jamil and Frances Whittaker-Wood 8A* and Emily Myrtle, Lauren Roberts and Georgia Austin Greenall 7 A* grades.
Eighteen girls were sitting their examinations having spent, in most cases, only 3 years studying in English, and yet between them they amassed results which closely mirrored the overall percentages: 21% A*, 54% A*-A and 76% A*-B.
Although I am sad that our boarders are unable to progress to Bedford Girls' School for their Sixth Form studies, I am delighted that most of our very top achievers will be going on to take A level or IB courses there.
I wish every girl who left Bedford High School at the end of Upper 5 the very best of luck for their future studies.
