Under 15 Midlands Lacrosse Champions

24 November 2008

On Saturday 22 November Bedford High School for Girls' Under 15 lacrosse team travelled to Malvern St James for their Midlands Regional Lacrosse Tournament. 

In the first game, Stowe provided tough opposition and the final score was a 2 - 2 draw.  This meant that winning the next game against Wycombe Abbey, who have a fearsome reputation for lacrosse, was essential.  BHSG scored twice in the first half and always looked in control of the game coming away with a 2 - 0 win.

 A 10 - 0 win against Uppingham completed the group round robin matches and earned BHSG a semi final place against Moreton Hall. This match finished at 2 - 2 which meant extra time. Moreton Hall parents were vocal in support of their team but BHSG players kept their composure and after a fantastic goal from Claudia Barker won 3 - 2.

Wycombe Abbey had won the other semi final and were keen to have another ‘shot ‘ at beating BHSG in the final. 

BHSG by this time was firing on all cylinders however and scored three times with only one reply from Wycombe.

Bedford High School for Girls were worthy champions playing with a passion, prowess and flare that could not be matched on the day.

Squad members:  Izzy Pugh(captain) Allie Hill, Gabbie Shields, Sophie Skipper, Rosie Knight, Becky Dorgham, Rosie Leech, Lilla To, Sophie Butterfield, Florence Jensen, Helena Prettyman,  Becca Wilkinson, Becky Burgoine (GK) Claudia Barker, Maya Thrasher

   

 

 

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.
