Charity News

08 December 2008

As the Autumn Term draws to a close, I would like to say a big ‘thank you' to all the girls in the Junior School for raising so much money for charity, once again.

Everyone enjoyed the talk given by Mrs Thompson in October about her work for Canine Partners, providing initial training for puppies as helpers for the disabled.  We have collect £135.00 so far from a ‘purple accessory' day, cake sale and collection boxes distributed to the girls to fill with odd coins until Easter.

We transformed ourselves into a ‘boys school' for Children in Need in November, raising a magnificent £295.00.  Many thanks to all parents who helped the girls with their outfits.  A very formal ‘male' staff, complete with academic gowns, added to the fun and gave the ‘boys' a taste of education in a bygone era!

The ‘1 hour Bring & Buy Sale' on Tuesday 9 December should result in yet another large collection, this time in aid of Shelter, helping homeless children at Christmas.  I look forward to giving you news of this event in the New Year.

Mrs  B Weltz

 

 

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.
