Congratulations to Vicky Beard, U4
06 October 2009
Vicky is the winner of the Sculpture4kids National School Sculpture Competition 2009 in the 11-13 year age group.
Her winning sculpture, based on "minibeasts", has won the Art Department £250 and the judges have awarded Vicky a £50 cheque "to do with as you will".
They also wrote a personal thank to Vicky for taking part in the 2009 competition:
"Without you and your school and your wonderful art teacher, there would be no competition. Well done."
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.
