BHSG Sporting Domination

20 March 2009

Since the beginning of March Bedford High School for Girls' Sports teams have dominated at local, county, and national levels.

Jane Axford, Head of Physical Education, attributes these successes to both staff expertise and pupil endeavour. Among many other trophies won this year, this month alone has seen the girls become:

  • U15 Indoor and Outdoor County Hockey Champions
  • U11 Medley Relay Swimming Champions at Bromsgrove
  • U14 Indoor County Hockey Champions
  • U10 Mini Hockey Champions
  • U11 County Mini Hockey Champions
  • U12 Herts County Lacrosse Champions
  • U11 County and District netball Champions
  • U11 Cross Country team - Winners at Rowney Warren

In addition

  • At the British Judo Championships in Cardiff there were 2 Silver and 1 bronze medal awarded.
  • In Rowing the squads have achieved a record 43 wins in open competition.
  • Finally, the Junior Swimming team have been unbeaten all season.

An incredible achievement.  Well Done Everyone.

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.
