Supporting St John's Hospice - 18 June
22 May 2009
On the afternoon of Thursday, 18 June, our whole school community (pupils and staff) will be undertaking a series of fundraising activities in support of St John's Hospice in Moggerhanger. Around the school, activities will include: - tombola
- a Lower 6 production (tickets only 50p each)
- soak the teachers
- food and drink
- and much, much more.
Although we regret that parents are unable to attend this event, if you would like to donate any prizes for the tombola or have any items such as jewellery or toys that would be suitable for resale to raise funds for this good cause, then please send them in to school with your daughter. We thank you for your support for this cause.
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.
