Lower 3 at PGL by Laurel Stewart and Georgia Urquhart

17 June 2009

When Lower 3 went to PGL in Devon, we were all very excited in anticipation of what lay ahead.

After a long and tiresome journey, we finally got to PGL and were welcomed with lots of waves and smiles by the PGL team.

Our favourite activities were the challenge course and the high ropes!

When it was our turn on the high ropes, we found it was a strange feeling because it was a mixture of being scared, yet exhilarated, at the same time.

When the PGL staff told us to dangle over the edge of the platform, we could not believe what we were hearing. Eventually, because we didn't want to do it, she pushed us off the edge and thank goodness that was over.

After that, we found it very easy to whip speedily around the course and ended up doing it twice. That was one of our main achievements of the weekend.

Our personal achievements that we overcame included fears of heights, tiredness and learning how to work in a team.L3 PGL Devon

On the challenge course, we really enjoyed it because we got really muddy and smelly! Everyone had fun. We ran through trenches of mud, got sprayed with water and dodged in and out of obstacles.

It was a great experience and we highly recommend it to the next L3s.

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.
