Children in Need by Annabel Hill

27 November 2009

On the 20th of November Bedford High School fundraised for Children in Need in a variety of fun creative ways, raising money for  disadvantaged children, and young people in the UK including those who suffer from mental, physical or sensory disabilities; behavioural or psychological disorders; are living in poverty or situations of deprivation; or suffering through distress, abuse or neglect.

Bedford High School girls made a huge effort to contribute to this by raising over £500.

All this was achieved through having a themed mufti day - Fame, which all the girls joined in with and donated money, and also face painting, resulting in the school being ignited with colour! To top the atmosphere within the school, a cake sale was held, with girls very kindly donating cakes, and even more girls buying them!

The catering staff were enthusiastic and got their faces painted - including the pastry chef who had a cupcake painted on her face, giving an extra edge to the lunchtime experience!

All in all, the day was a great success, and it is fantastic to have achieved such a great contribution for Children in Need from the Bedford High girls.

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.
