IB results
06 July 2011
The 2011 International Baccalaureate Diploma results are excellent giving us our highest ever average points score of 36.47. Over 20% of candidates scored at least 42 points with Bryony Couchman achieving 44 points and a further 3 girls achieving Bilingual Diplomas.
Joyce Shek achieved a 7 in Higher Level Mathematics and in addition to her overall Diploma score of 42, Joyce also achieved 6 points for an additional course in German.
28% of the Higher level results were 7 points, equivalent to the A* grade at A level, 61% were equivalent to A*- A and 89% A* - B grade equivalents. We are really delighted by these successes and are confident that as the girls progress to University they have received an excellent foundation for independent learning.
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.
