Haiti Appeal
25 January 2010
On Friday 22nd January, following the recent earthquake in Haiti, the Junior School raised funds for the appeal by covering a large map of the country with coins.
Girls worked on filling the outline of the country with silver coins, whilst the notes and copper were used to cover the neighbouring country of The Dominican Republic. By 9.00 am their task was complete and £319.95 had been raised.
The Environmental Club has also donated £200 from their previous fundraising efforts.
Many thanks to all those who contributed so generously.
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.
