Update on Nuffield bursar, Elisabeth Muller
25 March 2009
Elisabeth Muller, who left BHSG in the summer to start at St Peter's Oxford to study Earth Sciences, has had great success at the EU Contest for Young Scientists held in Copenhagen, Denmark, winning First Prize. Elisabeth will receive €7000 towards her future studies and will be offered a place to attend the prestigious and stylish Stockholm International Youth Science Seminar at the end of the year. Our congratulations to Elisabeth! You can read more about Elisabeth's achievement, on the Nuffield Bursaries 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.
