Fashion Show 2009 by Jade Bishi

20 March 2009

The 2009 Fashion Show, which was held in the main school hall, was an extraordinary event which was sold-out very quickly. It was truly a night to remember, which was held in aid of the Jeanette Crizzle Trust and the Upper VI Leavers Ball.

Pupils from both the High School and Bedford School demonstrated their hard work and dedication in the preparation and presentation of this memorable event. Opening with a Bond-themed performance, the school officers and monitors of both schools did not fail to impress the audience.

There were a number of groups with designated themes which included ‘Evolution, Recycling, London and even Sophisticated Phunk'. The groups flaunted a range of different breathtaking costumes down the catwalk; some donated by local businesses, whilst others were designed by the students themselves. ‘Recycling' especially wowed the audience with their ‘eco-friendly' dresses, which were made of paper and plastic. 

The students showed off enviable hairstyles created by Indulge Hairdressing of Harpur Street. A raffle draw was also held in which many remarkable prizes were won. Prizes included a bottle of champagne, chocolates and even lingerie from Amanda Jane!

All in all, the 2009 Fashion Show was a big success, and could not have taken place without all the hard work and effort of the students and staff of both schools. Special thanks to Charlotte McClean, the tech group and all the group leaders who helped to organise the event.

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.
