Seeking Ten Parents to Help

07 January 2010

Rotary Interviews on Thursday 29th January and Monday 2nd February 2009
6.30 buffet               
7pm - 9:30 pm

The Rotary Interview evening is a Bedford High School for Girls tradition that has been running for the past 14 years and is available to all girls in the Lower 6.

Teachers, parents and acquaintances of the school, all with vast years of experience in conducting interviews for well established companies, come together and hold 10 minute mock job interviews for each of the girls.

The situation is made to be as real as possible.  Girls are able to gain experience in writing real letters of application, filling out job application forms and writing high-quality CVs. The aim of the evening is to arm girls with enough information to help them achieve the best results at job and university interviews in the near future.

If you are available to help interview, please contact: Mrs Anne Samuel careers@bedfordhigh.co.uk or leave a message any time on 01234 334206

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.
