Valentine Roses by Gurpreet Sahota

17 February 2010

Once again it was the season of love.

This year  Annabel Hill and I had the task of playing cupid, with the proceeds of the roses venture going to our chosen Sixth Form charity Refuge. 

Although at the beginning of the week business was slow, it picked up with a flourish of sales on the last day, selling over seventy roses.

Friday the 12th was the moment of truth for us - would all the organisation, tag cutting and money collecting pay off?

However, we were unable to find the roses and tried not to panic.  The mystery was soon solved as we discovered that they had been put in a very cold room for us, to prevent them from wilting. Phew we could breath a sigh of relief once more!

Many thanks must be given to Autumn Flowers for coming to deliver the roses to us, our counterparts at Bedford School and Bedford Modern for handing out our roses, and also our sixth-form valentines cherubs who helped us sell, sort out and surprise many girls in the school with roses.

Refuge operates a network of safe houses providing emergency accommodation for women and children when they are most in need.  You can find out more about them on their website:  http://refuge.org.uk  

 

 

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.
