Junior School Spring Fair
16 June 2009
Our final fundraising event of the year was a triumph! Once again, Junior School girls showed how their enthusiasm and generosity of spirit can result in hundreds of pounds being generated for charity. With a wide range of stalls and games organised by each year group, we managed to raise £521 in 1½ hours! Thanks to all the girls and their families for contributing to the success of the afternoon. In addition, the Environmental Club took £207 on their stall, and David Randall from Canine Partners was very pleased to make sales worth £126. Our total fundraising for Canine Partners will be £900 this year, and we will also be able to make a donation to Queen's Park Lower School's Garden Project. The Grand Total of money raised for charity in 2008-2009 is in excess of £3000. Well done, girls! Mrs B Weltz

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.
