Poppy Appeal by Hae En Jeong
10 November 2009
The time of the year is back! Each year the nation supports the Royal British Legion's charity work.
The 2009 Poppy Appeal highlights the need to help and support the Afghan generation of the army and their families, today and throughout their lives. One of the many ways you can express your support is by wearing a poppy.
Bedford High School for Girls also showed support for this cause. The members of the charity committee willingly gave up their own personal time to sell the poppies, both around school and outside the school, by going into the town centre after school to promote the cause, which turned out to be very successful.
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.
