Year 9 County Badminton Champions

12 January 2010

A large snowman stood at the entrance to Cranfield University sports hall to greet the Year 9 badminton squad as they embarked on their quest to become county champions for the second successive year.

He may well have had cold feet but the Upper 4 girls  remained undaunted and warmed to their task in a flurry of activity as they took on Stopsley and Stratton.  

Hana Staddon showed the value of hitting long and hitting down in her singles matches. She moved her opponents around the court to good effect and had two impressive singles wins.

Alice Devaney made good use of the drop shot in her doubles matches and punished the short clearance with unerring regularity. They were well supported by Harry Elston, Georgina Hind and Louisa Cocksedge as they ran out 5-0 winners against Stopsley and 3-2 victors against Stratton.  

Congratulations to all the girls on becoming COUNTY CHAMPIONS for 2010!

They will now represent Bedfordshire in the Regional Round on 5 March in Cambridgeshire.

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.
