EMILY AND NICOLE AT A CANTER!
05 July 2010
Oakley Hunt (West) Pony Club stars Emily Myrtle and Nicole Gwynne, they have qualified for the HORSE OF THE YEAR SHOW at the NEC Birmingham in October after a nail biting day of competition at Great Westwood, Hertfordshire.
18 teams tacked up early and like the weather, the competition was HOT! Water, flannels and mist sprays were doused on riders and ponies but it was the Oakley team who kept their cool best as they top scored after 10 races and numerous heats to take the coveted prize - a place at the Horse of the Year Show!
Many congratulations to Emily and Nicole and we wish the whole team every success and look forward to seeing them live on Sky Sports - AWESOME!

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.
