Incredible GCSE Performance
21 August 2008
The publication of the GCSE results today has seen pupils at Bedford High School for Girls achieve excellent results. - 92 per cent of all students gained at least one A* or A grade
- 37 per cent of the year group achieved at least 10 GCSEs
- 13 girls gained all A* and A grades
- one pupil, a delighted Julia Danskin, achieved a full set of 10 A* grades.
Mrs Julie Eldridge, the school's Headmistresses said "I am delighted that the girls have achieved such excellent results - my congratulations to them all. Most of them will continue their studies here to A level or the International Baccalaureate Diploma, and they clearly have a strong foundation for this."
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.
