Holiday Intensive Swimming Lessons
04 February 2009
Bedford High Sports and Performing Arts Complex will be running Intensive Swimming lessons during the February half term. These classes are open to children above the age of three years old. Classes are run alongside the School of Fish programme, so maximum class size is six children, with an assistant in the water for the lower three groups. Classes will last for 30 minutes Monday to Friday and will run between 4:00 and 5:30pm. For more information, or to register your interest please click here, or email schooloffish@bedfordhigh.co.uk.
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.
