Marie Curie Swimathon 17th April 2010

05 April 2010

This year the Bedford High Sports and Performing Arts Complex is hosting its first Marie Curie Swimathon event.

The event, raising much needed funds to help those with cancer and carers of cancer sufferers, will take place on Saturday 17th April 2010. We will be holding two sessions on the day, one 9-12pm and the other 1-4pm.

The event is open to individual swimmers and teams, with a choice between 1.5km (60 lengths), 2.5km (100 lengths) and 5km (200 lengths). You decide how long you think you will take to complete the challenge, but it is not a race so you can take as long as you like (up to the maximum three hours).

Although places are now becoming limited there are still some places available in both sessions. To book a place, please go to the Swimathon website - click here - to register your details. Please note that you cannot attend this event without having booked your place on the Swimathon website.

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.
