MathMagic by Iona Wilson, L3P
08 March 2010
All Year 6 pupils from Bedford High School for Girls, Dame Alice Harpur School and Bedford Preparatory School recently joined together to play MathMagic. It was a tiring yet enjoyable morning being the hostesses.
There were about 180 children: 80 boys from Bedford School;60 girls from Dame Alice;40 girls from Bedford High. Mrs Pettifar and Mrs Copp were running the event and, thanks to them, it all ran smoothly!
The overall winners were girls; Sunny from Bedford High School for Girls, Abigail and Ellie from Dame Alice Harpur School.
There was actually one pair, Isabelle Gurney, Head Girl of Bedford High School for Girls and a girl called Clarissa from Dame Alice Harpur School, who managed to put a tile in the middle of the 3x3 square! Isn't that amazing? I was kind of amazed that anyone managed that because it is quite difficult.
I really enjoyed this event and made a lot of new friends.

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.
