El Visitante Desconocido
13 February 2009
Upper 4, Lower 5 and Upper 5 Spanish students recently enjoyed the superb production "El Visitante Desconocido". This was the third visit by The Onatti Theatre Company and once again we were delighted by their stimulating and amusing performance. The play was entirely in Spanish and their vocabulary was perfectly pitched for all the abilities of our students. The play covered topics at KS3 and GCSE and allowed our girls to experience the fun of studying Spanish. The interaction with the students was also very much appreciated and we are looking forward to their next production.
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.
