Top A and AS Grades
Sixth Form students at Bedford High School for Girls have once again proved that they can achieve top results.
Impressively, all the girls passed all their exams, 43% of the results were grade A, and those girls who took the English Advanced Extension Award all achieved distinctions.
75% of the girls achieved A and B grades and 23% of girls got at least 3 A grades. Congratulations to each and every one of them.
"It has been a hard-working and extremely successful year", said Julie Eldridge, Head of Bedford High School for Girls. "Our Sixth Form students have worked with the utmost dedication and should be proud of the outstanding results they have achieved. Overall, 76% of the girls who left us this summer, achieved the top A Level and IB (International Baccalaureate) grades."
"This rate is tremendous", continued, Julie Eldridge, "with the majority of girls securing places at their first choice universities. A Level students Elizabeth Muller, Tianyi Zhang, and Jie Ma are also to be congratulated on their places at Oxford! A fantastic year all round!"
If this year's AS Level results are anything to go by, there are signs that next year's A Level students will also do extremely well.
While Tiffany Chan, Agatha Chzou and Jessica Lo each achieved 5 As at AS Level, Headgirl Eleanor Piggott was congratulated by Edexel on achieving one of the top 10 grades in the country for History. A further 12 students at Bedford High School for Girls gained four As at AS Level. Congratulations also to Elizabeth Yeung, Jennie Lam, and Tiffany Chin who all achieved an A grade A Level in Chinese as well as four As at AS.
The school's International Baccalaureate (IB) students have also been celebrating their exam success. Between them, they have achieved an average score of 32, which is higher than the international average for IB schools.
75% of the grades achieved by girls are the equivalent to the top A and B grades at A Level, and two of the students achieved over 40 points (from a maximum of 45). Nine of the girls achieved bi-lingual diplomas, which is a passport to studying and working around the world.
