£480 Raised at Car Boot Sale

07 October 2009

Bedford High School for Girls recently held its second ever car boot sale.

The event was a great success with many people coming to hold stalls and even more appearing to browse the selection of bargains. The car park was full of people who had filled their cars with things to be sold. Visitors were so impressed with the event that many of them asked whether we will hold a car boot sale more regularly!

In total £480 was raised through vendors paying for stall spaces and buyers paying a 50p entrance fee. In addition to this the charities committee made cakes, coffee and tea to sell.

Our thanks go to Mr Lawrence and to Mr Wright for collecting money on the gates, to Mrs Galvez for organising everything, the kitchen staff for their kind donation of biscuits and to all of the committee members who were helping throughout the day. Keetch Cottage Hospital

The money will be split between the Keech Hospice Care fund and the Devi Prasad School Building Project in Nepal that we are currently supporting.

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.
