Shop Opening Hours and Lost Property
04 December 2008
Christmas Holiday The school shop will be closed for Christmas from noon on Friday 12 December and will reopen on Monday 5 January (from 9.00am to 4.00pm). We wish all our customers a happy holiday. Uniform Price List and Payment We apologise that our price list is not currently on the website. Following the recent announcement by the Chancellor of the Exchequer regarding changes to VAT with effect from 1 December 2008, it is currently being revised and will be available as soon as possible. We do hope, however, that you will be pleased to learn that we are now able to accept payment by credit and debit cards. Cheques should be made payable to 'The Harpur Trust'. Lost Property During the week after the Christmas break, all lost property that is un-named will be on display in the foyer outside the shop. Do please look here if you have lost anything. At the end of the week, anything which remains unclaimed will be recycled.
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.
