Bumper Crop of Results!
25 August 2010
Following on from the successes in the IB and A level examinations, GCSE candidates at Bedford High School for Girls have again produced a bumper crop of results. This first formal milestone in external examinations is the important springboard for Sixth Form, and eventually, University places. This year 28% of results were A*; 61% were either A*or A and 84% A*- B. Nearly a quarter of the girls in Year 11 achieved all A* or A grades and two girls achieved 10 A* grades. These girls will be the legacy year at Bedford High School before the full merger with Dame Alice Harpur School in 2012 and we look forward to their future success.
Despite what has been an unsettling year for us in many ways the girls have responded in the best possible way and I am extremely proud of their achievements.

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.
