U4 Talent Show: Listen to the songs

04 July 2008

On Friday 13th June the Upper 4's performed a talent show. The evening was a great success, raising £855.81 for DebRA, a charity which helps people with a blistering skin condition called EB.

There was lots of variety within the show including dancing, drama, singing, musical performances, comedy and lots more. Everyone worked really hard to make the evening a really memorable event. The performances were outstanding, showing that the Upper 4 really does have talent!

The evening ran really smoothly, ending with Lucy Earl singing her winning performance of "All That Jazz" from Chicago. Everyone did extremely well and the judges found it really hard to choose a winner!

The U4 girls who performed have recorded their songs in the Music Technology department.

Their L6 friends, Lily Hannant and Bekki Allsop, ran some recording sessions, so you can now download the songs as mp3 files.

The mp3s can be downloaded below, and you can listen to them on your computer, burn them to CD or copy them onto an iPod for your summer listening. The file sizes are roughly between 3 and 5 MB each.

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.
