Careers Fair, Wednesday 11 March

03 March 2009

  • Wednesday, 11 March 
  • 7-9pm
  • Bedford School Great Hall
  • Open to BHSG Fifth and Sixth Form

March 11 will see the third OB Careers Fair staged at Bedford School, when 45 successful Old Bedfordians and parents will share their career knowledge and experience with today's young Bedfordians.  And, in an exciting first, Old Bedfordian, Tom Latchford (93-04) will demonstrate his new Graduate Careers website which is to due to be launched shortly.

This year's OB Careers Fair builds on the success of the 2007 & 08 events which were each attended by over 250 students from Bedford School and Bedford High.  It will feature careers in marine biology, graphic design, ship stockbroking, psychiatry, investment banking, law, medicine, the parachute regiment, and environmental management among a great many others, and is a wonderful opportunity for students to talk to a community of ‘people in the know'.

Our sincere thanks go to the Old Bedfordians Club for setting up this event, and to OBs, parents and Bedford High School for giving so generously of their time and experience.

For more information, please contact the OB Club obclub@bedfordschool.org.uk  or the Head of Careers at Bedford School.

 

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.
