Summer BBQ

07 July 2010

On Saturday 3rd July, the Parents Association hosted a Summer BBQ in order to bid the Junior School a fond farewell as they leave us to create Bedford Girls' School. It was held in the Junior School Playground, and luckily, due to the perfect weather (lovely and sunny but not too hot!) and the excellent organisation, everyone had a great time.

The Charities Committee went along to the event, and with a selection of stalls, raised a magnificent £325 for the School's Charities! The largest fundraiser was the tombola which offered a range of prizes including stuffed toys, jewellery and bath toiletries! However, a huge thank you must go to the girls who did some fantastic face paintings, and sold some lovely cakes! Furthermore, with over 20 prizes, nearly everyone was a winner in our Raffle, drawn by Mrs Royden and Mrs Quantrill, and we saw many families leave with beaming smiles on their faces!

In general, it was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon, and our thanks goes to the organisers, for allowing us to use the opportunity to raise such a great amount for charity, especially so close to the end of term! And, of course, Ms Galvez, who once again gave up her own Saturday afternoon for this event!

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.
