HRH The Countess of Wessex

03 December 2009

The Junior School has had another busy term of fundraising for various charities. 

In October, the girls planted Spring bulbs in containers to mark the 70th anniversary of the start of World War Two.  The  money raised, amounting to £113.65, was sent to The Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association. 

November was an exciting month with poppies sold on behalf of the British Legion Poppy Appeal, ninety-two shoeboxes filled with gifts for The Samaritan's Purse Charity "Operation Christmas Child" and £267 raised for Children in Need.  We completed our charitable giving by collecting T-shirts and fleeces on "Make a Difference Day", to be used by the local Guildhouse for craft activities.

We were also fortunate enough to be invited to meet HRH The Countess of Wessex at a presentation given by Canine Partners.  This was in acknowledgement of the magnificent sum of £900 raised last year by the Junior School.  We hope to continue to support them this year.

Many thanks to all the girls and their parents for their genorosity this term.

 

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.
