Lucia Fusco at Bedford Schools Careers Fair
24 March 2010
The Old Bedfordians club hosted their annual Careers Fair at Bedford School on Wednesday 17th March. BHSG old girl Lucia Fusco, was one of our presenters, talking about Engineering. She is an excellent role model, having studied Mechanical Engineering at Sheffield University and currently doing a PhD at Cranfield University. More than 300 boys and girls came to the event, talked to a range of professionals and attended a choice lectures on Law, Medicine, Entrepreneurship, Engineering and Sports Management.
Lucia is pictured here with BHSG Head of Careers, Mrs Samuel and Mark Tucker, OB and Manufacturing Engineer.
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.
