Caythorpe Court by Millie Sutton

18 June 2009

Upper Two went to Caythorpe Court in Lincolnshire on the 12 June 2009 .The bus ride was one and a half hours long. As soon as we got there we were allocated to our tents, mine was tent number 36.

Our Leader was Stewart, a very nice man, who was a little bit crazy. He taught us lots of songs including ‘There was a crazy moose', ‘1,2,3 PGL song', ‘Birdie Birdie way up High' and ‘Peel Banana, Peel Peel Banana'. I can't choose a favourite!

My favourite activity was probably Giant Swing. It was my favourite activity because you got pulled up really high by everyone else. When we got as high you and your partner wanted, you pulled a cord and would fall down to the ground. Then the rope would hold you up and you would swing out of the way of the floor and zoom up high again. So cool !!

Other activities that we did were fencing, high ropes, raft building, abseiling, archery, all aboard, trapeze, orienteering and finally ENZE.

PGL Caythorpe Court was the best school trip I and my class mates have ever been on.    

  

 

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.
