Starlight Stars
11 December 2008
During the last few weeks the Charities committee has been raising money and awareness for Starlight. Starlight is a charity which helps children with extreme illnesses, by providing entertainment in hospitals and by granting them a wish. We have been hard at work trying to raise as much money as we can. At the school's Christmas fair we ran a stall and raised a significant amount of money through a tombola and selling Christmas gifts. During the last week we have been making and selling "Christmas Stars" which people have bought and written a wish or a message on. The stars have then been hung up on the ceiling of the bay and look fantastic. 
Thank you to everyone who has either made some stars or has bought a star. Katie Meredith, Clare Greenwood and Allie Hill
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.
