Reminiscences
OBs share reminiscences of their school days.
Tales of hidden motor vehicles, illicit drinking, inspirational magic lantern shows, obligatory cold plunge baths and the introduction of ‘pop music’, have kept us all amused.
If you’d like to share your reminiscences and help us create a unique insight into the life of the school, please get in touch at obclub@bedfordschool.org.uk, adding ‘Reminiscences’ to the subject line.
A few Reminiscences…
Boys Excel in GCSE Examinations
Among the strongest GCSE outcomes in the school’s history, this year’s results represent Bedford’s second-highest GCSE performance on record. Across all examinations, 72% of grades were awarded at 9-7 (equivalent to A*-A), while an outstanding 93.2% of all grades achieved were at 9-5. More than a quarter of all grades awarded were Grade 9, the highest possible grade, reflecting the hard work, ambition and commitment shown by this year’s boys.
Celebrating an Outstanding Set of A-Level Results
Building on the excellent International Baccalaureate results achieved earlier this summer, this year’s leavers have once again achieved remarkable success across a wide range of academic and vocational pathways. Alongside A-Levels, boys also celebrated strong results in BTEC Sport Science and Enterprise & Entrepreneurship.
Spectacular Results for Our IB Cohort
Our final cohort of International Baccalaureate boys have achieved an outstanding set of results, with half of the year group scoring 40 points or more out of a maximum 45. Of the ten boys who completed the IB Diploma Programme this summer, five achieved the exceptional milestone of 40+ points, while the most common Higher-Level grade awarded across the cohort was a 7 which is equivalent to an A* at A Level.
