Patrick Hall MP Invite to BHSG European Youth Parliament Team
10 March 2010
Patrick Hall MP invited the European Youth Parliament team (ten L6 girls and Mrs Marriott) to visit the Houses of Parliament on Monday 8th March.
They were very lucky to hear first of all questions on Education taken by Ed Balls and challenged by Michael Gove, then an urgent question on Jon Venables taken by Jack Straw and finally a debate on Crime and Security - which, since it was due to finish at 10pm, they left early!
It was a thoroughly fascinating and enjoyable experience and they are very grateful to Patrick Hall for arranging it.
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.
