Christmas at the Charities Stand

11 December 2009

Christmas is traditionally a time for giving and we have found that people are always more generous in their donations in the holiday season.

It is also the time when the most exciting charity events take place and the ones we feel have the best results. This year we have been selling stars, which people have bought for 20p and have written a Christmas message on, all of which are now hanging proudly in the Bay, and I have to say that they look wonderful, and really remind us that Christmas is on the way.

We have also had our annual stall at the Christmas fair, hosted by the parents association, and we felt that the day was very successful- it is also a great time for us to get our Christmas shopping done!

On Monday 7th December, we drew our raffle which we have been selling tickets for. The main prizes included a voucher for a Water sports Day and a Beauty Treatment. Accompanying this was a cake sale which had girls flooding to it- like all school cake sales really!- and our thanks go to anyone who donated cakes or raffle prizes, as always it is greatly appreciated!

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.
