Cranwell Competition
05 December 2008
This year, Bedford School's Combined Cadet Force RAF section put together a team of thirteen to take part in the annual Ground Training Competition held at RAF Cranwell. The team was to compete against fourteen other Combined Cadet Forces from our area and the winning team would go forward to the National Final held in March to win the Air Squadron Trophy. The competition consisted of seven elements: RAF Knowledge, Air Recognition, Drill, Shooting, First Aid, a Fitness Test and a command task. Three of the team members, Emma D'souza, Elizabeth Margereson and Olivia Phelps, were selected from BHSG to take part. The day was a great success, and the team worked very hard to gain a respectable fourth place. Great job guys! Olivia Phelps.
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.
