Jump Rope For Heart

10 February 2009

The Junior School will be taking part in a sponsored skip for The British Heart Foundation on Friday 27 February. The girls will attempt various skipping challenges during a I ½ hour session in the morning, using special skipping techniques which they will have watched on a DVD issued by the charity.  Your daughter has been given a sponsor form which we hope she will be able to use to collect the names of sponsors over Half Term.

This is going to be a fun-filled and healthy way to raise money  to help the BHF fight against heart and circulatory disease. It is an official, ongoing skipping challenge and participating schools can keep 25% of the money raised to spend on equipment or in any way the school chooses, together with the supply of skipping resources already sent.

Many girls in the Junior School will have bought ropes  when we held special skipping lessons last Summer. Please dig them out of the toy box, shed or garage over half term - you will need to practise!

Thank you for supporting your daughter in this fund raising event.

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.
