Successful Art Students

04 March 2009

Toni Hollowood in Upper 6 is to be congratulated on receiving an unconditional offer to join Kingston University's Foundation Art Course. 

Kingston have also asked Toni for permission to use her portfolio to demonstrate to students applying to them the standard that is expected. Obviously Toni, her parents and our Art Department are delighted to receive this kind of feedback.

Our Art Department helps to prepare art students for their Foundation Course (the pre degree course that most art students undertake prior to specialising in their chosen area of art) by helping to construct portfolios, advising on entry and even interviewing students.

Other art students have been offered places at Northampton and Wimbledon, with some interviews still taking place. 

Many congratulations also to Leslie Harris in Upper 6 who has been offered a place on a Graphic Design degree straight from school, skipping the Foundation Course.

If anyone would like further information about Art at BHSG, please contact the head of department Matthew Bean: bean.m@bedfordhigh.co.uk.

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.
