Paris 2009 Trip Oversubscribed
22 November 2008
Access to this trip is now closed. The trip was over-subscribed so I have been back to the travel company and they have recently informed me that we can raise the number from 44 to 50 with 8 staff. This means that all girls who have applied can go and the girls were very excited when they were told this. There is one girl on the waiting list and others who have a change of heart can join her there so that if any participant has to drop out, it may be possible for her to be replaced. All initial deposits are now non-refundable as stated in the original letter. Please be reminded that the balence of £270 is due on Monday 12 January. Mrs D Whiteley
Head of Year 7/Geography
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.
