Almshouse Summer Party!
07 July 2010
On Monday the 28th of June 2010, a group of volunteers from Bedford High School for Girls were invited to Bedford School for the annual ‘Almshouse Summer Party' for the elderly.
The girls worked with the Bedford School boys in serving the guests, keeping the guests company and engaging them in conversation. There was entertainment provided by students from The Pilgrims, Bedford School, Bedford High School for Girls, Dame Alice Harpur School for Girls and Bedford Modern School.
The Bedford High School Girls performed some highlights from the recent Junior School production of Oliver. The event was rounded up with a karaoke session for the guests. It was a memorable experience that taught the girls valuable opportunity to relate to elderly people.
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.
