Easter Bonnet Competition - Junior School
27 February 2009
House Easter Bonnet Competition - Junior SchoolThursday 26 March is the day you will have the opportunity to create your Easter Bonnet ready for the grand parade on Friday 27 March. This year we are going to ask that everyone makes their bonnet base in school (hats brought from home will not be looked upon favourably by the judges). You will need to bring all the materials you need to school with you that day so start collecting them together now. Here are some suggestions of the items you might need: Card or paper to make the base for your bonnet Ribbons Tissue paper Scraps of material Easter decorations ........ and don't forget your scissors, sellotape, pritt etc.
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.
