BHSG Claim Sixth Title of the Season
02 July 2009
This week saw Bedford High School for Girls win their Sixth rounders title of the season. Both the U14 and U15 teams played in the District tournaments and were crowned winners in temperatures that would have been more appropriate for the beach!  The standard of play at the tournament was brilliant and the High School girls were a credit, showing determination and focus throughout the afternoon. These two wins add to the District and Invitational tournament titles already won by the U12s, U11s and U10s and we still have one U10 District Final to play. Girls throughout all age groups have shown that with commitment and ability great team results will follow.
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.
