Combined Cadet Force Annual General Inspection

22 May 2009

Although smaller than usual, this year's AGI was a great success. The practices paid off and the parade was executed with crisp efficiency.

The inspecting officer was Group Captain Malcolm Evans RAF, Chief of staff for Air Cadets. The inspection took place under near-perfect conditions: the sun stayed in until the afternoon, and a gentle breeze prevailed over the inspection and parade.

After lunch, the Navy section took part in sailing and diving demonstrations, whilst the rest of the contingent moved around a circus of activities; an obstacle course, tug-o-war, drill, a command task and shooting on the range could all score points in the afternoon's competition.

After the final race- a play-off between the two fastest teams around the obstacle course - prizes and leavers' medals were awarded.

Best Navy recruit for BHSG was awarded to Lilla To, whist the equivalent army prize went to Shevaun Davis and the RAF prize to Ester Pile.

Emma D'Souza was also given a surprise promotion to Cadet Warrant Officer, a reward for her exceptional achievement, and Olivia Phelps was promoted to Flight Sergeant.

In the evening Officers, NCOs and guests donned their best evening wear to attend the AGI dinner.

Well done to all those who took part, including Po Rogers, who completed her first AGI.

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.
