National Association of Gifted Children - Family Weekend
15 September 2008
The National Association of Gifted Children (NAGC) is hosting a BIG Family Weekend at Stantonbury Campus in Milton Keynes 11 and 12 October. On offer is a selection of activities for children of all ages. The NAGC welcomes all children and their families to this national event which includes adult talks and workshops. If you are interested in finding out more, including the costs, please contact Susan Patel, Assistant Head, on mason-patel.s@bedfordhigh.co.uk or by telephone through the school office. Applications for courses must be made by Friday 19 September.
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.
