George Alagiah Presents BHSG with International School Award
02 November 2009
Anne Laing, Head of International Support, recently received The International School Award from George Alagiah on behalf of Bedford High School for Girls.
The School first received the award in 2006 and after three years had to apply for re-accreditation.
The award is an initiative regulated by the British Council and backed by the DCSF (Department for Children, Schools and Families) and the DfES (Department for Education and Skills) and recognises good practice in the international dimension.
To achieve this, the School submitted a portfolio of evidence describing the School's international curricular work involving a majority of curriculum subjects, impacting a majority of pupils and demonstrating collaborative curricular work with our international partner schools.
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.
