Closure of Smeaton's Bridge, Cardington
12 January 2009
We have been informed by Cardington Parish Council, that Smeaton's Bridge on Bedford Road, Cardington will be closed completely to all traffic from Monday, 19 January until Tuesday, 27 January. Stagecoach are aware of this closure and there is a small diversion in the 865 route (Wrestlingworth, Dunton, Biggleswade, Caldecote, Ickwell, Northill, Cople, Cardington) but no pickups are changed.
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.
