Inspection Week News
28 March 2009
We are delighted to report that a most successful inspection of both the School and Boarding took place during the final week of the Spring Term. All the Inspection Team commented on the warmth of the welcome they were given and the excellent behaviour and friendly atmosphere generated by the girls. The full report will unfortunately not be available for 10-12 weeks but we look forward to its publication and being able to share the contents with everyone. Suffice to say everyone has gone away for Easter with a glow of pride and pleasure. I do hope you are all able to enjoy this break together and wish the IB students in particular a successful time as they prepare for their examinations in May. Best Wishes

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.
